Description

Firstly, the GY-88 10DOF IMU is a motion tracking module. Its design is based on the sensors MPU6050, HMC5883L, and BMP085. The sensor MPU6050 is the world’s first integrated 6-axis Motion Tracking device. It combines a 3-axis gyroscope sensor, 3-axis accelerometer sensor, and a Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP). In addition to the Honeywell’s HMC5883L is a 3-axis digital compass sensor. Also, the BMP085 is a high-accuracy chip to detect barometric pressure and temperature. Hence, you can use it in your DIY and also, your product, for example, Quadcopter, Self-Balancing Robot, and similar applications.

GY-88 10DOF IMU Features

• Firstly, three 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for digitizing the gyroscope outputs
• Secondly, three 16-bit ADCs for digitizing the accelerometer outputs
• In addition to, a 12-bit ADCs for digitizing the magnetometer outputs
• Gyroscope full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000°/sec (DPS)
• Accelerometer full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g
• Also, wide Magnetic Field range:+/-8 Oe
• Pressure range:300 to 1100 hPa (+9000m to -500m above sea level)
• I2C interfaces
• Power supply: 3-5v
