The MPU9255 10DOF Sensor Module is a compact and highly integrated sensor module that features a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, and a 3-axis compass/magnetometer. The sensor module is designed with an internal Digital Motion Processing (DMP) engine that offloads complicated fusion calculations, sensor synchronization, and gesture recognition, making it ideal for wearable devices. It is also suitable for various applications that require motion tracking and positioning, such as drones, robotics, and gaming.
Compared to the BMP180, the BMP280 barometric pressure sensor included in this module has lower power consumption and higher performance. The embedded temperature sensor provides temperature compensation to ensure accurate readings.
The MPU9255 10DOF Sensor Module can be easily integrated into your project using the I2C interface. It allows you to obtain 10 degrees of freedom (10DOF) data, including acceleration, rotation, and magnetic field measurements. With a small form factor and low power consumption, this sensor module is an ideal solution for wearable devices and other applications where size and power consumption are critical.
