HOW DOES IT WORK?

6DOF IMU 22 Click is based on the ICM-42670-P, a state-of-the-art 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking IMU from TDK InvenSense. This central component incorporates both a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, making it an exceptional tool for precise motion tracking. It has a versatile host interface compatible with I2C and SPI serial communication protocols, a sizeable 2.25Kbytes FIFO, and two customizable interrupts supporting a wake-on-motion feature to reduce power consumption significantly. The gyroscope and accelerometer offer a range of programmable full-scale range settings, ensuring flexibility across various applications. The gyroscope supports four programmable full-scale range settings from ±250dps to ±2000dps, and the accelerometer supports four programmable full-scale range settings from ±2g to ±16g.

The ICM-42670-P stands out in its class for having the lowest noise levels and unparalleled stability under temperature fluctuations, physical shocks, or offsets caused by soldering or bending. It also offers protection against noise from vibrations outside its frequency band. Adding to its impressive feature set are an on-board APEX Motion Processing engine for advanced gesture and step recognition, programmable digital filters, and an integrated temperature sensor, making it ideally suited for creating wearables, smart home devices, robotics, and immersive AR/VR experiences.

6DOF IMU 22 Click supports both I2C and SPI interfaces, enabling communication at speeds up to 1MHz and 24MHz, respectively. Users can select the desired communication protocol by placing SMD jumpers on the COMM SEL section, ensuring all jumpers align on the same side to avoid potential issues. For I2C usage, the device allows the adjustment of its I2C slave address's least significant bit via an SMD jumper marked as ADDR SEL. Additionally, the board features a data frame sync input pin routed to the FSY pin on the mikroBUS™ socket and two interrupt pins linked to the INT and IT2 pins, enabling the host MCU to detect user-specified events through the I2C/SPI interface.

This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
