Usage Example for Host Computer Software

This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on connecting the 9 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 9-axis IMU sensor to RainbowLink V2 correctly. Set the sensor communication mode DIP switch to UART, and the address switch to 0x4A.
  2. Open the host software, select the correct port, set the baud rate to the default 9600, and click Open Serial Port.
  3. Click Connect Device. The dynamic motion display of the 6-axis IMU sensor will appear on the left side of the interface.
  4. Click Collect Basic Data to view real-time data such as acceleration and gyroscope values.

Notes

  • After enabling Collect Basic Data, the dynamic display on the left may slightly lag due to real-time synchronization and loading of multi-dimensional raw data. This is normal and will return to smooth once the function is disabled.
