Razor IMU Demo

A demo of a Sparkfun Razor IMU (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9623) mounted in a car. A realtime GPS map and video feed are used to give reference points.

To make the video play faster its shown at double speed.

We wanted to test how well the IMU coped in a real world environment
with noise, rapid acceleration/deceleration and varying turn rates.

The speedometer is from the xgpsspeed program and GPS telemetry data is from xgps from the gpsd package. GPS mapping is provided by a custom written Java program. Map data from Ordnance Survey Open Data (Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right).
The IMU is running the AHRS code from http://code.google.com/p/sf9domahrs/ and the IMU display is from the Python interface available from this project.

@Cadilac789 There are several pieces of software being used here. The roll/pitch/yaw and the 3d illustration is the python interface from The 9 DOF Razor IMU codebase. The GPS data is from xgps and xgpspeed which are part of gpsd. The map is from the microtransat route planner program from the microtransat sourceforge page, which also uses gpsd to get the data. The video is just a live webcam feed. ffmpeg was used to capture everything to video.

What software I can use to view data in real time on the pc and make that animation?
