Xadow - IMU 10DOF

Introduction

Xadow - IMU 10DOF is a combination of Xadow - IMU 9DOF and Xadow - Barometer BMP180.This module is base on MPU-9250 and BMP180, the MPU-9250 is a 9-axis MotionTracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and a Digital Motion Processor(DMP), and BMP180 is a high precision,ultra-low power digital pressure sensors for consumer applications.This module is very suitable for the application of smartphones, tablets and wearable devices

Usage

We will provide an example here to show you how to use this sensor.

Hardware Installation

Note

When connecting Xadow - IMU 10DOF to Xadow - Main Board, you should concern about the connection direction. The connection method is that the unfilled corner of one Xadow module need to connect to the right angle of another module(see four corners of each Xadow module).

Software Part 1. Download the library from https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/IMU_10DOF 2. Unzip it into the libraries file of Arduino IDE by the path 2. Open the code directly by the path: File -> Example -> IMU_10DOF_Test 2. Upload the code. Note that you should select the correct board type and COM port.
