Pmod NAV 9-axis IMU Plus Barometer

Description

Pmod™ devices are Digilent’s line of small I/O interface boards that offer an ideal way to extend the capabilities of programmable logic and embedded control boards. They allow sensitive signal conditioning circuits and high-power drive circuits to be placed where they are most effective - near sensors and actuators.

Pmod modules communicate with system boards using 6, 8, or 12-pin connectors that can carry multiple digital control signals, including SPI and other serial protocols. Pmod modules allow for more effective designs by routing analog signals and power supplies only where they are needed, and away from digital controller boards.

The Digilent Pmod NAV uses the STMicroelectronics LSM9DS1 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis magnetometer, plus the STMicroelectronics LPS25HB digital barometer to provide users with 10 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) functionality. The Pmod NAV provides a variety of orientation related data, allowing users to easily determine the exact position the module is in and where it is headed. With 16-bit full scale registers for acceleration, rotation, and orientation, and 24 bits of resolution for pressure data, users can easily figure out if their moving robot is falling over, how high in the air their hot air balloon is located, or which direction they are facing.
