Sensors on Raspberry Pi & Python - Distance Sensor & Inertial Measurement Unit

This is an introduction to using sensors on the Raspberry Pi in Python. It includes detailed examples showing how to use an ultrasonic distance sensor and an IMU which stands for inertial measurement unit. IMUs contain an accelerometer and gyroscope, and are useful for anything that involves motion including many robotics and home automation projects which I plan to do in future videos.
