    I am planning on mounting the VOXL-flight 90 degrees on its side. Where can I find the location of the onboard IMU and am I able to input an offset in QGC for the board to give the flight controller a better idea of where the IMU is? I know there is an orientation offset but what about a location offset in the X and Y direction?

      IMU's can be found here.

      Through QGC, the offsets can be adjusted: here

      You'll have to configure the extrinsic files as well to match the rotation of the board

      /etc/modalai/extrinsics.conf
      

      Hope that helps!
