Hamid,
I would still use the full IMU rate and use some low-pass filtering - either in
the camera or in post processing. I did not think the bandwidth will be a
problem - simple averaging filtering would be easy add to the processing chain.
It can be a separate program "piped" between the driver and output to the CF
(now a simple "cat" command is used) that will average the IMU data. Raw IMU
data is rather noisy, so averaging will definitely help.

Andrey,
I was trying to lower the IMU rate to simplify the data collection process and
keep things simple.
Sorry, by delayed response was to give it another attempt. I've been trying
to setup the camera so that:
1) Plug a CF card (or USB into the camera)
2) Upon powering camera, it will begin logging:
- Jpeg Images at 3 Hz
- GPS at 1 Hz
- IMU at 50 Hz
all into the medium of step 1 and will filenames or time-tags that can be
corresponded to one another.
Perhaps the flexibility of the elphel makes for the complexity that has made
the above goal so far unreachable. I'm not sure if the difficulty is due to
improper settings or factors I'm overlooking.
Andrey, can I send you the camera to take a look? Perhaps a refreshed
firmware and your experienced eyes can really help us out.

Hamid, Did you make the IMU work and now just trying to optimize parameters, or
it does not work and you try to make it work at at least lower rate? If it does
not work - please send the camera to us, we'll look at it, if you try to change
the IMU rate - I am not sure if everything will work as expected as we tested
IMU only at the maximal (nominal) rate. Why do you need to reduce the rate?
