c6DOF IMU 8 click

6DOF IMU 8 click is an advanced 6-axis motion tracking Click boardâ„¢, which utilizes the ISM330DLC, a high-performance System in Package (SiP), equipped with a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis accelerometer.

Click library

Software Support

We provide a library for the c6DofImu8 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for c6DofImu8 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key functions :

Examples Description

This app gets three-axis gyroscope value, three-axis accelerometer value and temperature.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes device and performs a device software reset and configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
// Logger initialization.
log_cfg.level = LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----\r\n " );
// Click initialization.
C6DOFIMU8_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
c6dofimu8_init( &c6dofimu8, &cfg );
Delay_ms( 500 );
c6dofimu8_default_cfg( &c6dofimu8 );
log_printf( &logger, "** 6DOF IMU 8 is initialized **\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 300 );
}

Application Task

>Waits until any new data is entered to the data registers and then reads the accelerometer,

gyroscope and temperature data which will be converted and calculated to the properly units every 300ms.

void application_task ( void )
{
uint8_t data_ready;
int8_t temperature;
t_c6dofimu8_axis accel_data;
t_c6dofimu8_axis gyro_data;
char accel_unit[ 3 ] = { ' ', 'g', 0 };
char gyro_unit[ 5 ] = { ' ', 'd', 'p', 's', 0 };
char temp_unit[ 4 ] = { ' ', 176, 'C', 0 };
while ( data_ready == C6DOFIMU8_EVENT_NOT_DETECTED )
{
}
c6dofimu8_get_data( &c6dofimu8, &accel_data, &gyro_data, &temperature );
log_printf( &logger, "** Accelerometer values : \r\n" );
log_axis( &accel_data, &accel_unit[ 0 ] );
log_printf( &logger, "** Gyroscope values : \r\n" );
log_axis( &gyro_data, &gyro_unit[ 0 ] );
log_printf( &logger, "** Temperature value : %d %c \r\n", temperature, temp_unit );
log_printf( &logger, "-------------------------------------------------\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 300 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
