    Carlos, yaw will always drift until you have a GPS connected, locked and the device is in motion. The only way it corrects the natural yaw drift is with the directional vector from the GPS.

    This is all covered in the manual.

    Although I don't know anything about the ArduIMU, what you're showing looks like normal gyro drift to me.
