Hello folks, I could need some help finding the right component for my hobby project.
I am looking for a very small IMU (Inertial measurement unit). The components I can find, such as on polulu.com are only available on boards sized at least 0.8″ × 0.5" (20x13mm), which is already too large (I want to attach them to my fingertips).
The smallest board I found was 0.4" x 0.5", which would be okay if it wasn't only a gyro (3D).
Is there any component you know of (or how/where I can find one) that is either even smaller (around the size of that last gyro), OR has the actual measurement unit (the IC) attached to a cable and the communications board in a reasonable distance to the chip (>= 15cm).
I am planning to have 6 of these units attached to my hand, one at each fingertip and one at the back of the hand. So weight and cost do play a role, but size is crucial here
I'm grateful for any hints and looking forward to your replies. Thanks.
