6_Dof_Shield_(DFR0209) - jimaobian/DFRobotWiki GitHub Wiki
This is a 6 Dof shield for Arduino, using the ADXL345 accelerometer and the ITG-3200 gyro.This IMU Combo shield also embeded a xbee sockets. So it's suitable for the projects that need bluetooth, wifi or Zigbee wireless communication.And the shield extends a pair of the encoders, the motor driver interface and 4 analog input connectors.
It's aimed to run on the balancing robots or mobile platforms. The encoder and motor driver interfaces are the necessary parts of the your robots. Plugin the rotation sensors to the analog connectors, then you get the most easy way to adjust the system parameters and debug the platform.
- Working voltage: 5v and 3.3v
- Interface: I2C(SCL,SDA)
- Connecters:
- 2 way encoder connectors by using D2,D3,D8,D9
- 2 way motor driver connector by using D4,D5,D6,D7
- 4 way analog input connector (A0~A3)
- Embeded the ADXL345 accelerometer and the ITG-3200 gyro
- Directly support Xbee and XBee form factor wifi,bluetooth and RF modules
- Compatible with Arduino Uno DFRduino UNO
- A programming switch used to disable wireless communication when programming
- Size: 65x55x20mm
Please download and install the library first.

Revision V1.2 updates the pin connection for latest boards. If you want to use this shield with an older board, use some wires to connect the new pins to the old pins:
* pin SCL from the 6DOF shield V1.2 to pin A5
- pin SDA from the 6DOF shield V1.2 to pin A4
