Grove - IMU 10DOF

pir

Grove - IMU 10DOF is a combination of Grove - IMU 9DOF and Grove - Barometer Sensor (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.

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​

Software​

Step 1. Download the library from Github.

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

Step 3. Open the code directly by the path:File -> Example -> IMU_10DOF_Test.

Here is a 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();
    Barometer.init();

    // 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("   ");

    temperature = Barometer.bmp180GetTemperature(Barometer.bmp180ReadUT()); //Get the temperature, bmp180ReadUT MUST be called first
    pressure = Barometer.bmp180GetPressure(Barometer.bmp180ReadUP());//Get the temperature
    altitude = Barometer.calcAltitude(pressure); //Uncompensated caculation - in Meters
    atm = pressure / 101325;

    Serial.print("Temperature: ");
    Serial.print(temperature, 2); //display 2 decimal places
    Serial.println("deg C");

    Serial.print("Pressure: ");
    Serial.print(pressure, 0); //whole number only.
    Serial.println(" Pa");

    Serial.print("Ralated Atmosphere: ");
    Serial.println(atm, 4); //display 4 decimal places

    Serial.print("Altitude: ");
    Serial.print(altitude, 2); //display 2 decimal places
    Serial.println(" m");

    Serial.println();
    delay(1000);

}

Step 4. Upload the code. Please select the correct board type and COM port.
