help needed setting up an arduino and imu

hello all,

I am starting my senior ME project (the team is building formation flying quad copters) and am foreign to the world of ardiunos. I bought a arduino mega ( Arduino Mega 2560 R3 - DEV-11061 - SparkFun Electronics ) and a imu stick (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10183) to measure position and orientation. There are four pin holes one the imu labeled; scl, sda, gnd, and vcc. I was able to find the gnd means ground, vcc is voltage and the stick needs 3.3v ( i think), scl is the clock, and sda is the data from the IMU.

I am unsure how to connect the imu to the arduino and how to view the readings on my computer.

Also there will be two cs/ee guys joining us in the fall.

Thanks

Welcome to the Arduinoworld

SCL SDA indicate I2C bus, you need to read about these commands - Wire - Arduino Reference -

an in depth description - Gammon Forum : Electronics : Microprocessors : I2C - Two-Wire Peripheral Interface - for Arduino -

thanks
