I am working on a model rocket telemetry project for school, and I fear that I am in over my head. I am using a MPU-6050 triple axis accelerometer and gyro breakout along with a HMC5883L triple axis magnetometer and a MPL3115A2 altitude pressure sensor (all from Sparkfun) as my sensors. I can send/receive wireless data and read it in LabVIEW (2013) and convert pressure data into altitude. However, I am lost trying to convert accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer data into velocity and position and plotting it in 3-D. I have been using Starlino's guide to using IMU (http://www.starlino.com/imu_guide.html) but haven't made much progress. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Jon 2014_10_30_Project.vi
