[SOLVED] Getting very abrupt values reading a Gyro or Accelerometer (DUE)


hey there,

yesterday arrived new arduino due board. it´s first arduino/microcontroller ever used i´m not experienced in hardware. how ever, ordered sparkfun 9dof sensor stick. soldered headers on , connected 3.3v sensor stick 3.3v , gnd, sda (20) , scl (21) pins on due board (which runs on 3.3v) via 30cm cables.

so figured out how read values of sensors accessing different registers. problem is, each axis 1 of 2 registers gives me abrupt values. here examples serial monitor.

!!! these values 1 register. 1 bits on left side (not yet bit shifted).
               x         y      z
gyro: 254   255       0
gyro: 255     0    255
gyro: 255    255    255
gyro: 3            255 255
gyro: 0   255   252
gyro: 254     0     1
gyro: 250     2   251

i tried different refresh rates. how ever, values right side register give me nice heterogeneous values when move stick. happens pretty of sensors on stick. when add them end values 0-255 , around 65xxx-66xxx or something

i figured out better values accelerometer after activating justify bit in config register. right i´m not sure if these data isn´t garbage either.

how can be? due maybe not suitable sensor? wanted have more calculation power further filtering. sensor stick maybe broken? can i2c issue?

btw: couldn´t find tutorial build due , 9dof stick. issue values come in 16 bit chunks when have 32 bit processor?  i guess not, mentioned: i´m newb ,)

i hope can help. happy!

cheers,

michael

a sparkfun 9dof sensor stick seems need power supply outputs 3.5v or more...

dear sparkfun,

why schematic not show regulator is? no datasheet pcb , no notation on schematic regulator is, have no idea how device can powered. expecting 3.3v, or expecting 5v? knowing regulator seems pretty basic piece of information…could rev schematic show info?

it's mic5205 3.3v. ldo regulator, vcc needs above 3.5v.
