Description

Module, using a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope, can measure the acceleration and angular velocity in three-dimensional space. The system MPU has a hardware unit DMP (Digital Motion Processor) that allows recalculation of the data to the position relative to the Earth.

 

For communication with the central unit, the popular I2C bus (TWI) is used. The module has, necessary for the correct operation of the system, passive elements. Leads are popular goldpin connectors, for connecting the sensor viawiresor for connecting directly to breadboard.

     

The product is compatible with Arduino

The manufacturer provides alibrary for the Arduinoand a detaileduser manual.

 

Leads

The sensor has four main leads for the installation of the goldpin connectors - 2.54 mm pitch (strip is included in the set for self-Assembly).

 

Name Description VIN Supply voltage from 3.0 V to 5.0 V. GND The mass of the system. INT The output of theexternal interruption - open drain (details in documentation) SCL Clock line of the I2C bus (TWI). SDA The data line of the I2C bus (TWI). AUX_CL Clock line of the I2C bus (TWI) for connecting an external magnetometer. AUX_DA The data line of the I2C bus (TWI) for connecting an external magnetometer.
