Ditch the Angles, Embrace the Quaternions for IMU Work

Today we're going to talk about something crucial for anyone working with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and 3D orientation: quaternions . You've probably encountered Euler angles (roll, pitch, yaw) at some point, and they seem intuitive, right? Well, for IMU work, they are often a headache waiting to happen . Today, I'm going to convince you why quaternions are the superior way to represent…
