Me 3 Axis Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor

#1

Hi All,

As soon as I connect the Me 3 Axis Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor to the Me Orion Baseboard, the buzzer starts to beep continiously. I tried all available ports for this module (port 4 6 7 and 8) all with the same result.

Anybody any idea what could cause this?

Regards,
Ton

For me no buzzer on but I don’t understand how to use the data X, Y, Z provided.
Are they angles from the axis? Are they coordinates ?
In fact, with this module, I thought it was possible to start from one position (by saving the first coordinates X Y Z) and then after a while the robot could come back to the starting position.
Has anybody got a simple sample showing the use of this module?

Thanks

Manolo

Same here. No buzzer (Orion board), but I’m really struggling to figure out how to make sense of the sensor output. This module is in desperate need of documentation!

Hi Folks,

sometimes, using the search function helps :wink:

However, as my article Introduction to Gyros was a bit hidden in a thread so far, I have copied it to the “Tutorial” section now.

MeGyro: General Introduction to Gyros

Best regards,
