Resources and Going Further
Our GitHub repostiory for the SparkFun 9DoF Razor IMU M0, includes all of our hardware and firmware design files. You can check out the board's schematic, Eagle PCB layout, or the example firmware over there.
For more on the 9DoF Razor IMU's MPU-9250, here are a handful of resources worth checking out:
- Datasheet (PDF)
- Register Map (PDF)
- Embedded MotionDriver 6.12 Firmware & Library -- The source and library blob for Invensense's motion processing library, which supports the MPU-9250. (Registration with Invensense required.)
- SparkFun MPU-9250 Breakout -- A small breakout for the MPU-9250, complete with an excellent hookup guide!
There are plenty of tutorials left, if you need some project inspiration. Check out some of these related tutorials:
Dungeons and Dragons Dice Gauntlet
A playful, geeky tutorial for a leather bracer that uses a LilyPad Arduino, LilyPad accelerometer, and seven segment display to roll virtual 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, and 100 side dice for gaming.
MicroView Digital Compass
Build a portable digital compass using the SparkFun MicroView and the MAG3110 Magnetometer Breakout.
Are You Okay? Widget
Use an Electric Imp and accelerometer to create an "Are You OK" widget. A cozy piece of technology your friend or loved one can nudge to let you know they're OK from half-a-world away.
