TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyShield Accelerometer not initializing?
« on: March 28, 2016, 05:39:03 PM »
Hi,
I just purchased a TinyDuino basic kit and accelerometer board, and have a couple of issues:
1. it appears the accelerometer board I received isn't the one on the tinycircuits web site, rather the 9-axis IMU board instead (the board says, 'ASD2511 - Rev 4'.)
2. when I try to get the code bender project to run (https://codebender.cc/sketch:252367#TinyShield_9_Axis_Sensorboard.ino), it appears that initialization is failing. I placed some println(result, DEC)s after the WHO_AM_I I2Cdev::readByte() calls, and the result comes back as 0 from both. This is what appears to be causing initialization to fail (because IMUInit() is returning -1 shortly after)
Any ideas on what I can do to get the sample up and running?
Thanks for your help,
