As we known, the NyBoard V0 uses a MPU-6050 6-axis IMU motion sensor. This sensor is an 8-years old model and it's not recommend for new designs.

So we're going to develop a new model with the new IMU chip and other sensors.
New IMUs:
TDK (Invensense) :
ICM20600/ICM20602 : 6-Axis, No DMP, no Arduino library
ICM20948: 9-Axis with DMP, 1.8V not compatible to mainstream MCU (needs additional voltage transform circuit and individual1.8V LDO power supply ), sparkfun library without DMP support
ST:
LSM6DS3: 6 Axis, adafruit/sparkfun library
LSM9DS1: 9 Axis, adafruit/sparkfun library
We're not going to use an individual magnetic compass sensor as it will be interfered by strong magnetic field produced by servos.
A high performance MCU platform for NyBoard is under development too.
Any suggestions for IMU sensor or other sensors you want ? eg: temperature/humidity sensor? MP3 player module? Bluetooth or WiFi?
Everyone who gives good advice or joins discussion in this post will get a special present by Len.
A funny small robot is under development by myself, maybe ugly ( @Rongzhong Li doesn't like it, but I like it...)
You can directly use an Arduino Nano, a GY-521 MPU-6050 , a 14500/18650 battery cell and cheap plastic servos that easy to buy and cheap.
You may try a 4-leg-without-knee robot, a car or other things you imagine. PCB is the chassis and tough enough! 6 PWMs by ATmega328P.
I will sell this kit for fun (without the brand of Petoi).
