Gravity: 6 DOF IMU Sensor

Usage Example for Host Computer Software

This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on connecting the 6 DOF IMU sensor to the RainbowLink V2 using host computer software. The process includes hardware and software setup, configuring communication modes, and collecting real-time data such as acceleration and gyroscope values.

Hardware Preparation

Software Preparation

  • Download and unzip the host computer software: Download Host Software

Operation Steps

  1. Connect the 6-DOF IMU sensor to RainbowLink V2 correctly. Toggle the sensor communication mode DIP switch to the UART side, and set the address DIP switch to 0x4A.

  2. Open the upper computer software, switch the language to Chinese mode in the upper-right corner, select the correct COM port, set the baud rate to the default 9600, and click Open Serial Port at the top right.

  3. Shake the sensor for 3 seconds to complete calibration. At this time, the dynamic motion animation of the 6-axis IMU sensor will be displayed on the left side of the interface; real-time data such as accelerometer and gyroscope values are shown on the right side.
