Sensor Fusion 7.00 Preview - Part 1

All,

We are busily working to integrate Version 7.00 of the sensor fusion library into the Kinetis Expert (KEX) ecosystem. ETA is early August. I have attached here a preview copy of the user manual for that release. This is subject to the usual disclaimers: content subject to change, no liability, yada yada yada. There are a LOT of changes. These are documented ad nauseum in the user guide. I've also added a lot of our old blog content into the user guide, as I keep getting requests for them. Please take a look and give me your feedback.

FYI, Here is a sample main() for the new fusion, running on FreeRTOS:
