# Title: 6DOF IMU 11 Click Board™ ## Description: How Does The 6DOF IMU 11 Click Board™ Work? Main component on 6DOF IMU 11 Click Board™ is the KMX63 from Kionix (ROHM company), a tri-axis accelerometer, tri-axis magnetometer, and temperature sensor on a single chip combo solution. The Accelerometer and Magnetometer data can be accumulated in an internal 384-byte FIFO buffer and transmitted to the application processor. Acceleration sensing is based on the principle of a differential capacitance arising from acceleration induced motion of the sense element, which utilizes common mode cancellation to decrease errors from process variation, temperature, and environmental stress. Capacitance changes are amplified and converted into digital signals which are processed by a dedicated digital signal processing unit. The digital signal processor applies filtering, bias, and sensitivity adjustments, as well as temperature compensation. Magnetic sensing is based on the principle of magnetic impedance. The magnetic sensor detects very small magnetic fields by passing an electric pulse through a special electron spin aligned amorphous wire. Due to the high Curie temperature of the wire, the sensor's thermal performance shows excellent stability. Noise performance is excellent with bias stability over temperature. Bias errors resulting from assembly can be trimmed digitally by the user. These sensors can accept supply voltages between 1.7V and 3.6V, and digital communication voltages from the MCU between 1.2V and 3.6V. The Kionix KMX63 digital sensor can communicate on the I2C digital serial interface bus. This flexibility allows for easy system integration by eliminating analog-to-digital converter requirements and by providing direct communication with system processors. The I2C interface is compliant with high-speed mode, fast mode, and standard mode I2C protocols. With 6DOF IMU 6 Click Board™ you may communicate by using I2C serial interface. The I2C is primarily used for serial communication between a Master device and one or more Slave devices. The KMX63 always operates as a Slave device during standard Master-Slave I2C operation.

Additional Notes and Information

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, USB UART 2 Click Board™ or RS232 Click Board™ to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.

MIKROSDK

This Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click Board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
