This is the other half of the ‘Mikroe 13DOF2 Click’ project. This is a placeholder for another project I’m working on. I’ll add the details soon.
This is actually half of a project, but I’ve seperated it into two parts because some people may wish to do just one part using individual components. This project is based round a Mikroe mikroBUS module called ‘13DOF2 Click’. This small board has two sensor chips:
- BME680 - This has temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and air quality sensors onboard. I’m primarily interested in this for air quality data, but the T/H/P readings may be of use, e.g. to get a better indoor temperature reading then the Davis VP2 console gives because that tends to reead high due to internal heating.
- BMX160 - This is a 9-axis sensor consisting of a 3-axis, low-g accelerometer, a low power 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis geomagnetic sensor. It’s intended use is as an orientation sensor, e.g. think they can be used in phones to work out which way up they are and how they’re moving. My initial thoughts for this are to use the accelerometer to make a (probbaly inaccurate) seismometer.
This particular project will cover the BMX160 chip. The BME680 is described in another project.
