I´d like to ask what is the most straightforward way to interface a 6DOF (or 9DOF) sensor to a Mac, directly without going through an Arduino card.
Could that be possible?

Re: Mac interface
What is your level of expertise? the most straightforward way would be to buy one that outputs it's data in serial format. Otherwise you will need to build a circuit that talks to the IMU and translates to serial.

Re: Mac interface
Thank you for your post, Franklin
I´d rather use the serial option ( I suppose that the Adafruit 9-DOF provides it ).
But, how could send the I2C format to a Mac ? I dont see any Adafruit board that could do this job.
I am just programmer, not a hardware expert.
Thanks again

Re: Mac interface
You are going to have to use a micro in the mix (to make it easier) Take a look at the micro https://www.adafruit.com/product/1315
