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
- TEL0190 RainbowLink V2 ×1
- SEN0694 Gravity:9 DOF IMU Sensor ×1
Software Preparation
- Download and unzip the host computer software: Download Host Software
Operation Steps
- 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.
- Open the host software, select the correct port, set the baud rate to the default 9600, and click Open Serial Port.
- Click Connect Device. The dynamic motion display of the 6-axis IMU sensor will appear on the left side of the interface.
- Click Collect Basic Data to view real-time data such as acceleration and gyroscope values.
Result
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.
