It is True! A New VR IMU!

Good day everybody! We’re again, but once more, with extra new merchandise. This week we’re excited to announce a brand new model of the SparkFun VR IMU Breakout, now that includes the BNO086! Following that, our Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Starter Equipment will get an storage improve and SparkX releases a brand new Qwiic Mux that includes the PCA9846! We wrap up the week with a brand new LTE Antenna able to reaching 600MHz – 6000MHz bands. Now, let’s bounce in and take a better have a look at all of this week’s new merchandise!

Digital actuality is in, however you should not need to drop tons of of {dollars} to achieve entry to the know-how behind it. Fortunately, that is the place the SparkFun VR IMU Breakout is available in. At its coronary heart is CEVA’s BNO086, a mixture triple-axis accelerometer/gyro/magnetometer System in Bundle (SiP) with a 32-bit ARM© Cortex&commerce; M0+. The BNO086 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) produces correct rotation vector headings, excellently fitted to VR and different heading functions, with a two-degree or much less static rotation error. The VR IMU is precisely what we’ve been ready for; all of the sensor knowledge is mixed and drift-corrected into significant, correct IMU data. It’s excellent for any challenge that should sense orientation or movement.

The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Starter Equipment is a good way to achieve a stable introduction to the small, credit-card-sized pc. With this package, it is possible for you to to get your Raspberry Pi 3 B+ linked via our SparkFun Pi Wedge to a breadboard and, by using the RPi’s 40-pin GPIO, will have the ability to management pushbuttons, LEDs, and a bunch of user-created circuits.

Do you will have too many sensors with the identical I²C deal with? Join them to the SparkX PCA9846 Qwiic Mux to get all of them speaking on the identical bus! This Qwiic Mux permits communication with a number of I²C gadgets which have the identical deal with. This Qwiic Mux additionally has eight configurable addresses of its personal, permitting for as much as 32 I²C buses on a single connection. To make it even simpler to make use of this multiplexer, all communication is enacted completely by way of I²C, using our helpful Qwiic system.

That is a particularly environment friendly, huge band, Versatile LTE Antenna with a small footprint. This simple to put in sturdy, versatile polymer antenna operates on better than 45% effectivity on LTE bands from 698 – 3000MHz. This antenna measures at 96mm x 21mm x 0.2mm with an adhesive backing. The bottom-independent antenna is delivered with a 150mm, ø1.37 coaxial cable and a U.FL suitable connector for simple set up.

That is it for this week. As all the time, we will not wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or tell us on Instagram, Fb or LinkedIn. Please be secure on the market, be sort to at least one one other! We’ll be again with extra new merchandise subsequent week so be sure that to verify again then. Joyful hacking!

By no means miss a brand new product!
