OMG

Very exciting progress today! We finally figured out how to read data from our accelerometer and magnetometer on our IMU. Aadu helped us troubleshoot for a few hours this afternoon and we started moving in the right direction, but the solution was actually pretty annoying. I was working with Vince and he found the mbed source code for the LSM303DLHC accelerometer/magnetometer in about 10 minutes. We're very thankful we were able to avoid rewriting all the Arduino protocols.

After achieving this milestone, we consulted Steven about writing this data to a script so we could plot the curves in MATLAB. Thank you Vince, Aadu, and Steven!
