title: Tracking Position in 3d space using 10-DOF IMU
body: <p>I need to track position and orientation of a gun in 3d space. I purchased a 10-dof IMU sensor (GY-87) to learn properly how to implement the solution of my problem. I am unable to find proper guidance due to lack of my knowledge in the field of electronics and Sensors.
  I found some good examples, but unable to implement it in arduino. </p>

  <p>I am currently able to detect Yaw, Pitch and Roll from the Sensor, from which i can detect the proper orientation of my gun. But I cant find a way to calculate position(x,y,z).</p>
  
  <p>I would be grateful to you if someonce can help me in this regards.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
  
  <p>P.S: I cant find much resources for GY-87, may be it is deprecated. But due to unavailability of resources in my country, I had to use this sensor. I am a computer science student and new towards electronics, so please correct me if I am not using any proper term.</p>
