Hi,

Just an IMU won't be able to track the position of the IMU over time.  It can be combined with odometry measurements with a kalman filter to a decent estimate though. 

If you are looking for a sparkfun IMU with a premade ros-wrapper, I have a wrapper for the sparkfun 9d razor imu called imu_9drazor.  It is a part of the rutgers-ros-pkg. 

Regards,
Adam

hello,

Does ROS have Sparkfun IMU supporting driver?
"http://www.robotshop.com/sfe-atomic-imu-6-degrees-of-freedom-xbee-ready-1.html"

Is this IMU sufficient for giving X, Y, Z coordinates of the Robot?

Thanks,
Abhy
