Description

This is a 10 DOF IMU sensor which is built on MPU-9250 and BMP280, MPU-9250 is a 9-aixs motion tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and a Digital Motion Processor (DMP) in a 3*3*1mm package, finally add a barometer- BMP280, so it becomes a 10DOF IMU, it’s smaller in sizes with less power consumption, so use it with mobile phone or aircraft, smart wear devices will be more suitable.
User-programmable full-scale range (digital output) and high accuracy of temp/pressure measurement make it meet the ideal for motion tracking and environment monitoring. Its crowtail interface take easy and simple use experience for your Arduino projects.

STEP2 Plug Crowtail-Base Shield into Crowduino Uno ;
STEP3 Plug Crowtail- IMU 10DOF into I2C port on the Crowtail-Base Shield I Port with Crowtail cable;
STEP4 Connect Crowduino Uno to PC via a Mini USB cable.
NOTE
If we don't have Crowtail Base Shield, We also can directly connect this module to Crowduino Uno as below.

Software

STEP1 Download IMU10lib_Arduino_Library.zip
STEP2 Configure controller board&communication port
On top of the Arduino IDE, click “Tools>Board>” and select “Arduino Uno” from the available options
SELECT BOARD.png
Select the COM port that indicates Arduino Uno. Please note that the actual numbers after the “COM” word will vary from computer to computer, so they could be different from the ones shown in the figure.
