The purpose of this project is to provide client with data regarding the IMU readings gathered from a Horse's Hoof to use towards determining the health of the Horse. Basically, sports watch for a horse.

A custom 9-DOF IMU with an additional 3-axis high-g accelerometer, which is used for impulses where the low-g accelerometer may clip, will be used to detect laminitis or rotational hoof sickness, in racehorses. The IMUs come equipped with a 3-axis low-g accelerometer, 3-axis high-g accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer. Additionally, circuitry will be added for other features like GPS, Real-time timekeeping, and power management.
The IMUs will communicate directly to a central hub through a BLE mesh, which will allow wireless transmission of recorded data from each unique IMU device. After data collection, the data will be read from the central into a serial port on a computer where it will save the data and provide a real-time plot for data processing later.
In order to get this project up and running, there are two parts that need to be finished. The first is making sure the Central device is programmed and connected to the peripheral device, and the second is programming and connecting to the peripheral device on your laptop
Preface: Here are a couple links to help familiarize yourself with Git and GitHub.
