The board comes preloaded with an 8 MHz Arduino bootloader and example firmware for testing all onboard sensors. By connecting a 3.3 V FTDI Basic Breakout to the serial TX and RX pins and opening a terminal at 38,400 bps, users can access an interactive menu to verify sensor outputs. Custom firmware can be uploaded using the Arduino IDE by selecting “Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (3.3 V, 8 MHz) w/ ATmega328” as the target board.
The 9DOF operates at 3.3 V DC, and any input supplied through the white JST connector is regulated to this operating voltage, making Li-Po batteries a suitable power source. The output header is pin-compatible with the 3.3 V FTDI Basic Breakout, allowing easy USB connection to a computer. For wireless communication, the board can also be used with a Bluetooth Mate or an XBee Explorer.
