Noob Question for setup of BerryGPS-IMU

[Shane Rosenbrock]

Hi Guys,

I’m completely new to this and am trying to design a project from scratch. I have a pi zero w and a BerryGPS-IMU module.

I have followed the instructions for getting the GPS side of things working and logging GPS data and am very happy with the results. I need some help (read: very simple, step by step instructions) for setting up the IMU side of things. I’m not sure where/how to wire this up to the pi zero?
Then once wired up I would like it to be able to log the IMU sensor data to the SD card along with the GPS co-ordinates.

Can anyone help me out with this? I followed the tutorial here to get the GPS logging happily, but the links to the IMU setup don’t seem to work 🙁

Hi Shane

We are so sorry that the links were incorrect.

They have now been fixed.

The guides will have instructions on example code so you can get started using the IMU sensors.

Cool, thanks Mark – i’ll hopefully be able to get something going using those guides.

Just another couple of quick questions (pretty basic ones). To use the IMU part of the BerryGPS-IMU do I need to solder some headers to the 5 IMU pads at the bottom of the module, or does the female header (top right) provide the GPS and IMU pin out?

And finally, is there a simple way to edit the code for the GPS logging to include a timestamp (for working out speed)?

Thanks again.
