The onboard ESP32 runs a Madgwick filter to compute quaternion orientation angles and writes them to SD card at 200 Hz with microsecond-accurate timestamps. This is the exact signal chain used in low-earth-orbit CubeSat ADCS prototypes - now in a tinkerable, benchtop format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-contained attitude logger that samples raw 9DOF data from the ICM-20948, applies the Madgwick AHRS algorithm in real time, and stores quaternion logs alongside RTC-timestamped entries. The 0.96-inch OLED shows Euler angles instantaneously. Powered by a 3.7V LiPo cell with integrated TP4056 charging, the system runs untethered for hours, letting you simulate spacecraft attitude sensing on a desk or inside a rocket payload bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImplement the Madgwick AHRS filter on ESP32 to compute drift-free quaternions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuse 9-axis IMU data from accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLog sensor data to SD card at continuous 200 Hz using SPI and FATFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesign a battery-powered embedded system with buck regulated supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterface a real-time clock (DS3231) for microsecond-precision timestamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESP32 Dev Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICM-20948 9DOF IMU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS3231 RTC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroSD Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.96in OLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLM2596 Buck Converter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.7k?
