One of the things that interests me with the Neo is the inclusion of the Freescale/NXP gyro and accelerometer. I thought one interesting use is as a Seismograph (demonstration) and other "micro" movements that are impossible to detected with the naked eye. Anyway, enough with the Ya-de-Ya... here's my kludge in C to see what sort of data pops out. (Reading from the filing system like this is hardly ideal, but it works for now and keeps it simple.) Anyone not familiar with C can compile it by changing the .txt extension to .c and compiling with gcc main.c (or whatever you've called it). It takes a baseline reading and the outputs a coarse difference. I reduced the sensitivity somewhat because the data is impossible to follow when output to the console like this. What's interesting (and perhaps I've read this wrong) is that the data from the gyro and the accelerometer *appear* to be swapped. If this example is correct (it might not be) the gryo is giving the rate of change and the accelerometer is giving the absolute position relative to the baseline. Doesn't matter a fig of course - but I'd be interested to know if I've misread this. Here's some sample output (after the board is picked up and held on one side) - note there is no calibration on these figures! ACC: X:163, Y:-8, Z:-150 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0 ACC: X:163, Y:-8, Z:-150 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0 ACC: X:163, Y:-8, Z:-150 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0 ACC: X:163, Y:-8, Z:-150 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0 ACC: X:163, Y:-8, Z:-149 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0 ACC: X:163, Y:-9, Z:-151 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0 ACC: X:163, Y:-9, Z:-151 GYR: X:0, Y:0, Z:0
I don't have a Neo Full but you could also take a look at this Python library as a reference https://www.hackster.io/ubalance-team/magum-sensors-library-222d96?ref=user&ref_id=58345&offset=0
I'd generally take a look at Hackster.io, many projects there (and today I've imported other 7 ones from someone else's GitHub). There is also this library for the temperature sensor for example that is published on Hackster.io
Never seen Hackster.io (so much porn, so little time... wait what?) But seriously, that's a fascinating site!
