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
- TEL0190 RainbowLink V2 ×1
- SEN0692 Gravity:6 DOF IMU Sensor ×1
Software Preparation
- Download and unzip the host computer software: Download Host Software
Operation Steps
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
