Dependencies:   mbed

Fork of frdm_serial by Freescale

Tasks

  • reading from an accelerometer and a gyro placed on Pololu IMUv9 board
  • sending in serial (SCA, SCL) to show time histories on LabVIEW charts (configured with the use of VISA)

Used libraries

  • IMU
  • Kalman

Description

This simple program uses available libraries to read data from an accelerometer and a gyro placed on Pololu board.

Boards

All with serial data transmission, i.e. Freescale FRDM-K64F.
