I have been reading for days about this and see people using many different methods to do this. So I thought I'd ask for some advice before I start wasting money on parts that I don't need.
I want to track rotational changes in roll, pitch and yaw with reasonable accuracy. And I want to do this with minimal components. As I have never really used accelerometers or gyroscopes or magnetometers before I am not sure of what I can do with the data I get from them. Is a 3 axis accelerometer, or a 3 axis magnetometer or a gyroscope enough to do this on their own? Or do I need combinations of these? Which would be best?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
