Tips: How to optimize data output frequency for low-power drone applications with IMU?

To optimize IMU data output for low-power drones, strategically lower the output frequency via serial commands to reduce the processor's duty cycle and direct current draw. Complement this by decreasing the baud rate to minimize communication power, and leverage the IMU's internal Kalman filter to offload processing from the main controller, allowing it to sleep more. For maximum efficiency, implement dynamic scaling that switches between a low frequency for steady flight and a high frequency only during aggressive maneuvers, ensuring critical data accuracy while significantly extending battery life during extended missions.
