Get motion tracking with the newly released MPU IMU click

Get motion tracking with the newly released MPU IMU click

Image

The MPU IMU click carries the MPU-6000 integrated 6-axis motion tracking device in a very small package.

This click board is about as small as a postage stamp. And the MPU-6000 is smaller than the silkscreen mikroE
on the click itself. Yet the chip packs a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer and a Digital Motion Processor (DMP).
Together they constitute a high performance 6-axis motion tracking device.

If you’re building something that needs to know where’s it moving and how fast it’s going, then this is
the right click board for the job.

In other words, MPU IMU click is ideal for developing motion-based remote controls or game controllers,
or wearable fitness and sports gadgets, like a bracelet that would track your golf swing or something like that.

For precise tracking in both fast and slow motion, the gyroscope and accelerometer
are user programmable
. Also, the internal Digital Motion Processing engine supports
3D gesture recognition algorithms
like Panning, zooming, scrolling, zero-motion, shake
detection and tap detection.

Libstock examples are ready. For specs and details, see here.

Yours sincerely,
MikroElektronika

Hello,

I am new with Mikroelektronika products.
I bought a MPU IMU and looking for technical documentation how to program it. I saw the code example on the libstock site but I need a document that describe each pin function.

Thanks in advance,

Gacserus

Hello Gacserus and welcome to the forum :D

The manual of any click board is rather brief.
You'll need the datasheet of the on-board module along the manual of the click board for acquiring detailed information.

That webpage of the on-board module on the MPU IMU click is linked below:
http://www.invensense.com/mems/gyro/mpu6050.html

Its datasheet is linked below:
http://www.invensense.com/mems/gyro/doc ... 00v3.4.pdf

There are lots of nice people (unlike me) here, so don't worry if you got stuck somewhere. You'll get helped :D

Thanks,

I went through the papers. Motion processor is the real value inside.
I really miss the motion processor description.
HOw it works? how to program it?

any guideline on that?
Thanks in advance,
regards,

Gacserus

I'm sorry Gacserus, but I cannot answer these questions since I don't have much experience with this Click board :(
Aren't the answers available in the datasheet?
