MEMS sensor control

Description

RoboBoard X4 contains accelerometer and gyroscope to measure movement and angles. At the moment there is no high-level Totem API to easily detect all rotations and interactions. Standard Arduino libraries can be used to read raw sensor data.

Note

Board revision v1.1 and v1.0 has different MEMS chip, so follow instructions accordingly
