One step closer to Vingean localizers

The MPU-9150 is a single chip, 4mm square, which includes a three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. Not so very long ago it was hard to find a three-axis gyro at all, much less one that came integrated with other sensors. This has happened in five years’ time, I think? It seems plausible that we might be able to buy a single chip incorporating processor, storage, radio, and sensors within another decade.
