Complete Inertia Measurement System - 6 degrees of freedom. Version 2 uses the single IC triple axis accelerometer from Freescale MMA7260Q and combines it with three iMEMs gyroscopes. Roll, Pitch, and Yaw gyro sensors including a total of 3 tilt axis.
All measurements are transmitted over a simple TTL level serial connection via the 4-pin header on board. You'll need a shifter circuit or MAX232 circuit to connect this device to a computer.
The firmware allows individual channels to be turned on/off, different sensitivity on the accelerometers, and output type between binary/ASCII. Turning off unused channels will increase the output frequency.
Unit runs off of a 9V battery for 2-3 hours or a 4-pack of AA batteries for 12-14 hours.
Fully populated and tested 6DOF board with 3 Gyros, and Tri-axial accelerometer. All sensors are soldered in place. No Bluetooth RF is included.
