I bought an arduIMUv3 to be used as a head mounter sensor for rotation of the head. The idea is that it must work ok even if the head goes up and down a bit, and that the rotation must be absolute (relative to the magnetic north)

Using the arduIMU 1.9.8 firmware and the YAW output value (corrected with the magnetometer) I get really random values that change a lot also with pitch and roll changes (a lot means like -+100). I don't really know what the problem is, but I'm more interested in understanding if what I'm trying to do makes sense with the arduIMU firmware. I need the YAW response to be very quick since a person can easily rotate 180 degrees in less than a second..

thanks for any input and suggestion
