Gyro/Accelerometer Wiring Questions
3 Attachment(s)
My team got an accelerometer/ gyro chip in the KOP, but there are no connectors. is there a way to fab a connector for it? the Gyro has six connections, in a 2x3 grid, the Accelerometer has two strips of connectors, facing 90 degrees apart, one has 8 connectors in a 1x8 grid, the other has four connectors in a 1x4 grid. Here are some pictures of it and the pins.

For the accelerometer, you need at least four wires for the I2C interface. The SPI interface requires six wires and four DIO ports. It's not too hard to make your own connectors. You can get parts from Hansen Hobbies, and others. If you don't have one already, you'll also need a crimp tool. You can probably find four-conductor security/phone wire at a hardware store. |

The other reason is that the gyro connections have to go to an analog input on the Analog Breakout, not a digital one on the Digital Sidecar. If you intend to make your own cables, I second the recommendation for Hansen Hobbies. |

Now... if the team wants to put in some header pins, then that is a different story. |

I thought ours came with unfilled holes. I wasn't the one who opened the antistatic package to verify what was in them when we inventoried our Kit of Parts, but what I saw was definitely flatter than I would expect if it had headers. We've been using last year's parts on our testbed robot. I'll take a look tomorrow at the ones still being safeguarded in our KoP tote. |
