Example Code for Arduino-Read Acceleration Gyro and Angle

Hardware Preparation

• DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
• Serial 6-Axis Accelerometer x1

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE
• Download and install the DFRobot_WT61PC Library. (About how to install the library?)

Wiring Diagram

Sample Code

/*!
 * @file getData.ino
 * @brief Set the frequency of data output by the sensor, read the acceleration, 
 * @n angular velocity, and angle of X, Y, and Z axes.
 * @n Experimental phenomenon: when the sensor starts, it outputs data at the set 
 * @n frequency and the data will be displayed on serial monitor.
