Parameter Calibration And Calculation

Calculate Acceleration

The unit of acceleration measured by the program is LSB (least significant bit), and the unit is often converted to gravitational acceleration (g) in actual use. The default range is 16384 LSB/g (±2g), so the actual acceleration measured is:
𝑎=Acceleration/16384 ,𝑈𝑛𝑖𝑡:𝑔
Please refer to
QMI8658C_datasheet P17

Gyroscope Angular Velocity

The unit of angular velocity measured by the program is LSB (least significant bit). In practice, the unit is often converted to angular velocity (°/sec). The default range is 64 LSB/(°/s) (±500°/s), so the actual angular velocity measured is:
ω=Gyroscope/64 ,Unit:°/s
Please refer to
QMI8658C_datasheet P18

FAQ

Question:Incorrect use of Raspberry Pi controls may cause?

 Answer:

If you run python or bcm2835 and then the screen fails to refresh after running the wiringPi demo. It is because bcm2835 is the library of the RPI CPU chip, which directly operates the register, wiringPi, and python control the device by reading and writing the device files of the Linux system. So it may cause the GPIO header to work abnormally. All you need to do is to reboot the Raspberry Pi.

{{{5}}}

Question:STM32 demo serial port output has no data or data output is garbled?

 Answer:

Confirm whether the baud rate is set to 115200. For the STM32 routine, please confirm that the computer is correctly connected to the development board USART2 (PA2, PA3), PA2 is TXD, and the correct COM port is selected. Control Panel -> Hardware -> Device Manager.
