IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit
DOF - Degrees of Freedom
Laminitis - The inflammation of the laminae of the foot, which results in extreme pain and instability in horses.
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.
