Join this project's team ongoing project accelerometer magnetometer Axis

This project was created on 08/21/2017 and last updated 6 years ago.

Details

The Arduino 9 Axes Motion Shield is based on the BNO055 absolute orientation se nsor from Bosch Sensortec GmbH which integrates a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a triaxial 16-bit gyroscope with a range of ±2000 degrees per second and a triaxial geomagnetic sensor with a 32-bit microcontroller running the BSX3.0 FusionLib software.

You can get it from Rhydolabz.com for the lowest price. You can even tell them if you get a better price somewhere, they make it less!

The sensor features three-dimensional acceleration, yaw rate and magnetic field strength data each in 3 perpendicular axes.

It also provides the sensor fusion signals such as

• Quaternion

• Euler angles

• Rotation vector

• Linear acceleration

• Gravity vector

In addition, it incorporates an intelligent interrupt engine, which allows for triggering interrupts based on

• slow or no motion recognition

• any motion (slope) detection

• high-g-detection.

Components

• 1 × Arduino UNO https://www.utsource.net/itm/p/8647184.html
• 1 × Arduino 9 Axes Motion Shield

Build Instructions Collapse

• 1 ​ Hookup

  Simply attach the 9 Axes Motion Shield to your Arduino Board, being careful to match all PINs. You are ready to go!

• 2 Sketch

  The code starts by doing the Shield setup and creating a Serial connection. Interrupt setups are also done in this function. The setup functions are commented inside the code. The loop function updates over and over Accelerometer datas and it prints them to the Serial Monitor.

  You can use it in several projects like the one which require you to keep a track on the orientation of a robot or machine, etc.
