How to use an ArduIMU Sensor Board - Six Degrees of Freedom (Main)

04 Dec 2010

Hello there everyone

My name is Fidias and i am a student of Automotive Electronic Engineering course.

I have been asked to design a model of ESP unit for vehicle. I have already bought my m-bed device and make it to several things I was looking to the cookbook for some examples of IMU sensors. I am going to use a SparkFun - Sensors - IMU - ArduIMU Sensor Board (Main) which includes a LISY300AL single axis +-300°/s gyro and one ADXL335, a three axis ±3g accelerometer. I was having trouble to understand which library i am going to use to initialised this device and if there is no one who i am going to design one. Any help is more than welcome. Thanks in regards.

you'll have to write one yourself, or use a seperate gyro and accelerometer that are already implemented in the cookbook.

I would personally be lazy and use one thats already implemented.

if you feel like writing your own libary, open up one thats allready implemented using the communication protocol(spi, I2C, ect) and have a look at how they are done.
