3D tracking with Arduino Nano and IMU

What This project is a wireless “heading reference system” that tracks alignment, and a Processing sketch that visualizes it.  My particular version of this gets the volume too and changes the visualization based on that.   It’s based on an Arduino Nano, a Pololu IMU…
