I am student from mecanical background. I already brought this IMU from cytron. Can I have the basic programming to detect angle pitch ,yaw, roll.

Suggest you to go through the concept of Accelerometer and Gyro:

okay.noted. For the gryo ,do we have to use X-rate and x-rateX4.7 connecting it to analog pin at adurino? or just choose one of them? And what about the Vref of gyro?is it 3.3v?

Hi,

You only need to use either the X-rate or X-rate4.7. For your information, X-rate4.7 is the amplified signal of X-rate at 4.7 X. If you need more sensitivity, you can use the X-rate-4.7.

Regarding the Vref of the gyro, it's around 1.3V and normally is not used.
