# Getting Started

### MX\_IMU community On Discord

We are now expanding from a single sensor to a full motion control suite.

We are looking for developers and enthusiasts to join our Discord and help us shape the next generation of hardware and firmware.

### Getting Started

This is tutorial for MX\_IMU\_V1.0.\
It is a fully open-source Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) development board built around the STM32F405 processor, the ICM42688-P IMU sensor.

It is highly suitable for experiment-oriented purposes, sensor fusion research, and prototype development. The package includes the schematic, PCB layout, firmware source code, and a Python MAVLink-based GUI.
