The aim of this paper is to present the testing and calibration of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) by using an Arduino Uno microcontroller. To accomplish this, the Arduino microcontroller will be programmed through Matlab, considering the number of built-in math and engineering functions and the advantages of the numerous plotting methods. Furthermore, filtering algorithms will deal with the calibration of the sensor and analysis of its behaviour in order to reduce the errors caused by the bias and drift rate of the sensor. The last part of the article will focus on future improvements for the application, in terms of model used, general architecture and tuning techniques as well as the coupling of a GNSS sensor.
