Grove - IMU 9DOF v2.0

pir

Grove - IMU 9DOF v2.0 is an upgraded version of Grove - IMU 9DOF v1.0 and it is a high performance 9-axis motion tracking module, which is based on MPU-9250. The MPU-9250 is an integrated 9-axis motion tracking device designed for the low power, low cost, and high performance requirements of consumer electronics equipment including smartphones, tablets and wearable sensors. MPU-9250 features three 16-bit ADC for digitizing the gyroscope outputs and three 16-bit ADCs for digitizing the accelerometer outputs and three 16-bit ADCs for digitizing the magnetometer outputs.

caution
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's software or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.

Hardware Overview

pir

pir

① - Grove interface,connect to I2C

② - I2C or SPI select pad(default is I2C), if want to use SPI, disconnect this pad

③ - Address select pad, default connected b and c address is 0x68, if connect b and a address is 0x69, if want to use SPI, disconnect this pad to either side.

④ - SPI Interface

⑤ - Auxiliary I2C master serial data

⑥ - Auxiliary I2C master serial clock

⑦ - Interrupt digital output

  • Step 2. Connect Grove-IMU_9DOF_v2.0 to port I2C of Grove-Base Shield.
  • Step 3. Plug Grove - Base Shield into Seeeduino.
  • Step 4. Connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.

Software

Step 1. Download the library. from Github.

Step 2. Refer How to install library to install library for Arduino.

Step 3. Create a new Arduino sketch and paste the codes below to it or open the code directly by the path:File -> Example ->IMU_9DOF_Demo_Compass_Calibrated->IMU_9DOF_Demo_Compass_Calibrated.

Here is the main part of the code


void setup() {
// join I2C bus (I2Cdev library doesn't do this automatically)
Wire.begin();

// initialize serial communication
// (38400 chosen because it works as well at 8MHz as it does at 16MHz, but
// it's really up to you depending on your project)
Serial.begin(38400);

// initialize device
Serial.println("Initializing I2C devices...");
accelgyro.initialize();

// verify connection
Serial.println("Testing device connections...");
Serial.println(accelgyro.testConnection() ? "MPU9250 connection successful" : "MPU9250 connection failed");
delay(1000);
Serial.println(" ");

//Mxyz_init_calibrated ();
}

void loop()
{
getAccel_Data();
getGyro_Data();
getCompassDate_calibrated(); // compass data has been calibrated here
getHeading(); //before we use this function we should run 'getCompassDate_calibrated()' frist, so that we can get calibrated data ,then we can get correct angle .
getTiltHeading();

Serial.println("calibration parameter: ");
Serial.print(mx_centre);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print(my_centre);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println(mz_centre);
Serial.println(" ");


Serial.println("Acceleration(g) of X,Y,Z:");
Serial.print(Axyz[0]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(Axyz[1]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.println(Axyz[2]);
Serial.println("Gyro(degress/s) of X,Y,Z:");
Serial.print(Gxyz[0]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(Gxyz[1]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.println(Gxyz[2]);
Serial.println("Compass Value of X,Y,Z:");
Serial.print(Mxyz[0]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(Mxyz[1]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.println(Mxyz[2]);
Serial.println("The clockwise angle between the magnetic north and X-Axis:");
Serial.print(heading);
Serial.println(" ");
Serial.println("The clockwise angle between the magnetic north and the projection of the positive X-Axis in the horizontal plane:");
Serial.println(tiltheading);
Serial.println(" ");
Serial.println(" ");
Serial.println(" ");
delay(300);
}
If we don't have Grove base shield , We also can directly connect this module to Seeeduino LoRaWAN,but we need add three line code as below picture.

Step 4. Upload the code and after that, you can see :

In static state,the z-Axis output value is about 0.98g,so you can refer to this to test if your sensor can work normally.
