Re: How the heck do you wire these things?

The pin closest to the label (x, y, z, rate and temp) is the signal pin, the next is +5v and the last is ground.

Accel
x y z label

o o o signal pins
o o o +5v pins
o o o ground pins


Gyro, label abbreviated
r t labels

o o signal
o o +5v
o o ground


You can cut a pwm cable and wire it so white/yellow is signal, red is +5v, and black is ground. Then connect the PWM cables to the Analog inputs on the analog breakout.

You can find more details about them in the 2009 Sensor Manual.
