Gy-85 IMU

Overview:

The GY-85 is a compact 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) which is the combination of three on board sensors.

1. Gyroscope — ITG3205 It measures angular velocity (rotation speed)

Axes: X, Y, Z

Result : °/second

2. Accelerometer — ADXL345 It measures tilt and acceleration.

Axes: X,Y,Z

Able to identify:

movement due to gravity (tilt)

Beneficial for: motion detection and balance

3. Magnetometer — (HMC5883L / IST8310 variant) It determines the magnetic field of Earth

provides a heading for the compass (North)

Interference-sensitive
