PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
6-Axis IMU Unit is a sensor designed to measure the orientation and acceleration of an object in six degrees of freedom. It integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope, allowing real-time calculation of tilt angles and acceleration. The unit utilizes the MPU6886 chip, which features a 16-bit ADC, built-in programmable digital filters, and an on-chip temperature sensor. It communicates with the host device through the I2C interface (address: 0x68) and supports low-power mode.
The 3-axis accelerometer measures linear acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes, providing information about changes in velocity and orientation relative to the force of gravity. The 3-axis gyroscope measures angular velocity around the same axes, enabling the detection of rotational movements. By combining the data from both sensors, the 6-Axis IMU Unit can accurately determine the object's orientation in three-dimensional space.
The MPU6886 chip offers high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion, allowing precise measurement of acceleration and rotation. It also includes programmable digital filters to reduce noise and improve signal accuracy. The on-chip temperature sensor provides temperature readings, which can be useful for temperature compensation or monitoring applications.
With its I2C interface, the 6-Axis IMU Unit can easily communicate with a microcontroller or other devices, making it suitable for various applications such as robotics, drones, motion tracking, virtual reality, and gesture recognition. Its low-power mode helps conserve energy, making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
