Accel Gyro 6_Axis LSM6DS3 (105020012) component
Combined 6-Axis Accelerometer and Gyroscope sensors. Useful for working out data such as Pitch and Roll. Can be combined with a Magnetometer to also provide Yaw.
It must be connected to the correct channel, also make sure that the SDA and SCL are connected to the right pins in flowcode. The Accelerometer/gyroscope needs to be initialised before any data can be called by it. It can also be configured to different sensitivity levels of acceleration. In flowcode the different axis can be specified as well as the simulation mode. There are different macros which allow you to get an accelerometer or gyroscope reading for an x, y or z coordinate, and even one to get a temperature reading from the component.

Property reference
Gyro Range
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name GyroRange.
No additional information
Accel Range
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name AccelRange.
No additional information
Device Address
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name DeviceAddress.
No additional information
Channel
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::CHANNEL.
Channel selection
SDA
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::SDA.
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
SCL
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::SCL.
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
Baud Select
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::BAUD_LIST.
Baud rate option selector
Baud Rate
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::BAUD.
Baud rate to be used
Stop Delay
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::StopDel.
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not
a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event.
Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the
I2C communications.
Simulation Mode
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name SimulationGUI.
Chooses the data source for simulation.
Scope Traces
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::ScopeTraces.
Selects if the scope traces are automatically generated or not
Console Data
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::ConsoleData.
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
Injector
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::Injector.
