Im very new at i2c & SPI bus. Does anyone have a sketch or more information for me to get the data from this IC only so I can read it in the serial monitor. This will get me started. Ultimately, I just need a H/W - S/W product I can Pan/Tilt small servo PT unit. I also plan to use a serial data 270x zoom camera module via wixel, that's another day.. Any help appreciated.

See figure 26 or 27 of the datasheet for the external components you should connect and where.  Then hook up MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS/CS to the corresponding pins on the Arduino (See: Help->Reference->Library Reference->SPI)

Tables 9 and 10 show the 4-byte commands and 4-byte responses.  As you send a 4-byte command, using the SPI.transaction() function four times, the result of the PREVIOUS command will come in as the results of those four calls to SPI.transaction().

Registers 0 and 1 each contain 8 bits of data. Together they provide the current rate of rotation in (degrees per second * 80).  Divide the value by 80 to get Degrees per Second.  Integrate over time to get Degrees.

Hi johnwasser!

Im currently working on the same Gyroscope, but I have run into some problems during the init of the sensor.
Have you got it working or just have been reading the datasheet?

Just reading the datasheet.

Just reading the datasheet.

Dear Johnwasser, I am so stressful. Because I could not find any sample code for ADXRS453 for arduino. Could you write only few raws for this device? I feel bad really.

Code:

#include <SPI.h>
const int CSpin = 40;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(CSpin, OUTPUT);  // set CS pin as OUTPUT
  digitalWrite(CSpin, HIGH);  // sets cs to high
  SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV16);  // sets SPI clock to 5MHz
  SPI.begin();  // start SPI
  GyroSetup();
}

void loop(){
  delay(100);
  // Gyro();
}

void GyroSetup(){
  delay(200);
  digitalWrite(CSpin, LOW);  // sets chip select to transfer data
  delay(100);
  long result = SPI.transfer(0x20);  // sends a byte of data
  Serial.println(result, BIN);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  Serial.println(result, BIN);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  Serial.println(result, BIN);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x03);
  Serial.println(result, BIN);
  digitalWrite(CSpin, HIGH);  // de-selects chip select
  Serial.println(result, BIN);  // output value
}

This is my code. But does not work. Please...

What does the command  20 00 00 03 do?

You are sending one command and, at the same time, receiving the results from the previous command.  What do you expect to receive.  What do you receive?

[Reply #6 on:]

It appears that function will only be called once.

Don't you want to access the gyro reading often ?

[Reply #7 on:]

If you look at page 20 of the datasheet,    they seem to expect sending 4 byte messages to the device and getting 4 byte messages back ( 32 cycles of the spi clock ).

It is probably a bad idea to screw arround sending serial port messages  while this SPI transaction is going on.   that takes a long time.

Dear helpful friends,

I reconfigured my code as you briliant me

Code:

#include <SPI.h>
const int CSpin = 40;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(CSpin, OUTPUT);  // set CS pin as OUTPUT
  digitalWrite(CSpin, HIGH);  // sets cs to high
  SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV16);  // sets SPI clock to 5MHz
  SPI.begin();  // start SPI
  GyroSetup();
}

void loop(){
  delay(200);
  Gyro_regular();
}

void GyroSetup(){
  delay(200);
  digitalWrite(CSpin, LOW);  // sets chip select to transfer data
  delay(100);
  long result = SPI.transfer(0x20);  // sends a byte of data
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x03);
  Serial.println(result, BIN);  // output value
  digitalWrite(CSpin, HIGH);  // de-selects chip select
}

void Gyro_regular(){
  digitalWrite(CSpin, LOW);
  long result = SPI.transfer(0x20);  //sends a byte of data
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  result = result << 8;
  result += SPI.transfer(0x00);
  Serial.println(result, BIN);  //output value
  digitalWrite(CSpin, HIGH);  //de-selects chip select
}

And the results are:

The GyroSetup() message seems to be setting the CHK bit which forces a fault and an error report.  Probably not what you want.

The message in Gyro_regular() seems to be another  Sensor Data message.  At least that one doesn't have the CHK bit set.

It looks like the recommend initialization is a GyroSetup() followed by three Gyro_regular() at 200 mS intervals.

At some point you will probably want to add a read of Register 0 which contains the gyro rate information.

Is there anybody who has any idea about using of ADXRS453 with Arduino?
I purchased it 4 months ago but still waiting. Could you help?
