Build a portable digital compass using the SparkFun MicroView and the MAG3110 Magnetometer Breakout.

How to get started using the MMA8452Q 3-axis accelerometer -- a solid, digital, easy-to-use acceleration sensor.

Control LEDs based on your movement using an accelerometer! Make your LEDs breathe by fading in and out when laying on the floor, turn off the LEDs when moving to your side, or make the LEDs blink in a headstand!

Music Box Project based on the Dr. Who TARDIS.

A basic guide to get started with the MPU-9150 9 Degrees of Freedom Breakout.

Get up and running with the MPU-9250 9-axis MEMS sensor.

How to use and re-program the OpenLog Artemis, an open source datalogger. The OLA comes preprogrammed to automatically log data. The OLA can also record serial data, analog voltages, or readings from external Qwiic-enabled I2C devices. Some of these Qwiic-enabled devices include GPS/GNSS modules, pressure, altitude, humidity, temperature, air quality, environment, distance, and weight sensors.
