Hello francesco.dalterio,
Thank you for your interest in the Intel Aero Compute Board and welcome.
In regards to your query about reading the values of the onboard sensors, I would like to share a few information and useful links:
The first suggestion would be to look at the Hardware Usage and Features available here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023602/drones/development-drones.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023602/drones/development-drones.html
Full details on how to access each sensor can be found in the article "Onboard Sensors" available here: https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/94-(References)-Sensors-GPIOs-LEDs-CAN-bus# inertial-measurement-unit-imu-pressure-and-magnetometer-sensors https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/94-(References)-Sensors-GPIOs-LEDs-CAN-bus# inertial-measurement-unit-imu-pressure-and-magnetometer-sensors
A guide to autonomous drone programming in Python can be found here:
https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python
There are a number of API's that you can use in order to read sensor data by doing Python programming, the best tool and examples can be user through Dronekit and can be found here:
http://python.dronekit.io/about/index.html http://python.dronekit.io/about/index.html
Here is an example for the IMU : http://python.dronekit.io/examples/create_attribute.html?highlight=imu%20data http://python.dronekit.io/examples/create_attribute.html?highlight=imu%20data
I hope this information proves useful.
Best regards,
Casandra

Yes,thank you very much for your support, your help has been very useful.
I suggest to use dronekit library to read sensors, since it is vwell documented and there are many examples which are ready to use in real cases
