You may be wondering about the difference between the X/YRate and X/Y4.5 outputs. On a breadboard connect the pin labeled Vref to A0, yRate to A1, xRate to A2, y4.5 to A3, and x4.5 to A4. Sometimes you may want to use a gyroscope to get rotational information about your board that cannot be calculated with an accelerometer. Change the value of the variable 'zero' above. The xAcc and yAcc values will hover around a common value,

Hold the board parallel to the ground and watch the serial monitor, If you want to determine the zero point value of your board,Д¬omment out the last eight lines of this loop and uncomment the lines below.

see the comment below for calculating this with your own board. Int zero = 282 //this was the zero point value for my accelerometer, your board may be slightly different.

This accelerometer code allows you to determine the orientation of your board in 3D space. When the board is tipped to positive X it will display a positive number, and when it is tipped to negative X it will display a negative number (same goes for Y). This way when the board is held parallel to the ground, the X and Y acceleration both read 0. I tried to center the values around a zero point by introducing the variable 'zero' in my code and then subtracting all my incoming data from this number. The code below will display the X,Y, and Z acceleration fro your board int he serial monitor (ctrl/command + shift + M). On a breadboard connect Arduino 5V to 'RAW' pin, Arduino ground to ground, then connect the pin labeled X-Acc to A0, Y-Acc to A1, and Z-Acc to A2 Solder header pins to the accelerometer/gyro board. IMU Analog Combo Board - 5 Degrees of Freedom IDG500/ADXе…ѓ35 Sparkfun SEN-11072 If you are short on analog input pins on your Arduino, it may be a good idea to use one of these digital chips, but the analog chips are nice because they require minimal effort to get working.

Some accelerometers and gyroscopes output data digitally by encoding it in a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal. I like this board because it outputs the accelerometer and gyroscope data as 5 analog voltages which can easily be read using five of the Arduino's analog input pins. Accelerometers measure acceleration, you can easily use this information to calculate the tilt of an object by subtracting the current accelerometer data from a value that you know to be zero tilt.ДЇor this project I used the 5 Degrees of Freedom IDG500/ADXе…ѓ35 board from Sparkfun. They will not directly tell you information about tilt, only movement about an axis. Please note that this feature is not possible for Gen 1 and Gen 2 Stages Power meters, which do not have a gyroscope within the electronic components.First a bit of basic information: Gyroscopes measure rotational movement in degrees per second.

Toggle the button for Enable Gyroscope to turn it on or off.

Select the power meter from the devices listing and touch Connect.

Rotate your power meter crank arm at least one rotation so that it is awake and broadcasting.

For this reason, we recommend leaving it off unless you are doing a significant amount of off-road riding or have noticed issues in your previous power data. Please note that using the power meter with the gyroscope enabled will result in about a 10% decrease in battery life.

With each full rotation of the crank, the cadence values will be compared between the two sensors to ensure they are both reading in unison and only good, accurate cadence values are sent on to the head unit. When activated, the gyroscope will run continuously and take measurements simultaneously with the accelerometer. To allow it to be turned on and off, we have added a feature to the Stages Power app to allow the end-user to enable the gyroscope. Since the gyroscope is not needed in most riding conditions, it is disabled by default to conserve battery. The gyroscope exists as a secondary option to improve cadence values in certain riding conditions, such as mountain biking or gravel riding in rocky/bumpy conditions. Within normal use, the gyroscope is not needed, as the power meter is able to measure both power and cadence using the meter's strain gauges and accelerometer.
