9-Axis Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Magnetometer

Small board based on the InvenSense MPU9250 sensor, containing a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis magnetometer

SKU 1606-MPU9250EAN 8219671114783Item type: Assembled,

Description

Small board based on the InvenSense MPU9250 sensor, which contains a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, and a 3-axis magnetometer. The module includes pull-up resistors on the SDA, SCL, and NCS lines, pull-down resistors on the FSYNC and AD0 lines, and an integrated 3.3 V voltage regulator that allows powering the module at 5 V. If you wish to power the module at 3.3 V, simply bridge the jumper next to the voltage regulator.
Communication interface: I²C (default address 0x68) / SPI (chip with integrated 16-bit AD converter). The board is supplied fully assembled and tested.
Applications: motion detection in games, augmented reality, electronic image stabilization (EIS), optical image stabilization (OIS), pedestrian navigation device, etc.
The package also includes a 10-pin straight header strip.
