Gyro/Acceler. connections
Hello, can any body tell me what we would connect the gyro/accelerometer to?
Thanks ![]() EDIT: oh and the wires too, please? Last edited by Faldor : 18-01-2010 at 22:58. Reason: mistake |

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
They connect to the analog module on the cRio. Once connected you can use the built in support to draw meaningful values from the two included sensors. http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Com...ual%20RevA.doc is the link to the manual on the included sensors. Hope this helps.

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
I think the accelerometer connects to the digital sidecar, but the gyro definitely connects to the analog module

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
You can check Labview Gyro example for a wiring diagram, however it is not available for the accelerometer vi even though they do have a specific vi for the ADXL345 12C, Maybe if enough people request it labview engineers will supply it.

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
viper110110 is right I hadn't read the accelerometer part of the sensor guide yet, this years gyro is an I2C/SPI gyro so it would connect to the digital sidecar.

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
Thank you jt, but could you also tell me what cables i would be using, and exactly where on the digital sidecar, or the analogue module it would connect?
Thanks again |

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
Read the Sensor Manual. It should give you lots of answers, but if you still have questions afterward, go ahead and ask them.

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
I am still having issues as to where exactly on the digital sidecar they connect. So if anyone can help much appreciated.

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
I2C is easiest. You can just hook the 4 I2C wires to the digital sidecar's I2C pins.

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
can anyone tell me where exactly the accelerometer connects to the cRIO or the analog breakout? and does anyone have any schematics?

As Joe Hershberger posted not very long ago, the easiest way to connect the accelerometer is to use the four I2C pins on the board. They connect directly to the four I2C pins on the Digital Sidecar. |

Re: Gyro/Acceler. connections
The gyro has a three pin connection (ground, power, signal), so how would it connect to the I2C, which has four connections? Connecting it to a digital I/O port also seems odd because you don't want a reading of either 1 or 0 for a heading. Team 3176 is still trying to get their gyro up and working. We have it connected to the analog breakout, but we're having problems getting a reading, so I'm not sure if that is due to a bad connection, or just a programming problem.
