Hi, does anybody have a Math channel that give a good approximate lean angle when using a Bosch m5.10 imu. I know it can be used to get lean angle as it is the same sensor that most of the major motorcycle manufacturers are using but just don't know how to configure it to do so. Thanks for the help.

It is no simple task to calculate lean angle, have a look at this thread:
