6 Axis Accelerometer Gyro Arduino Shield
6 Axis Gyro / Accelerometer Shield based on MPU6000
OBSOLETE
It is based on Invensense IMU 6000 and outputs 3 channels of acceleration on x,y,z axes and 3 channels of rotation on x,y,z axes on a single chip with a high degree of versatility.

Features
Digital output X-, Y-, and Z-Axis angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) with a user-programmable full scale
range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000°/sec
Factory calibrated sensitivity scale factor
Digital-output tri-axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
User-programmable digital filters for gyroscope, accelerometer, and temp sensor
1MHz SPI serial interface for communicating with all registers
Using the Shield With Arduino Uno
The shield is fulli compatible with Arduino Uno. Just download the test code and run it.
Using the Shield With Arduino Mega 2560
The Mega 2560 uses different pins for the SPI then the Uno.In order to make it work connect the pins using some wire.
MOSI - pin 51 connect to pin 11
MISO - pin 50 connect to pin 12
CLK - pin 52 connect to pin 13
CS - pin 53 connect to pin 10
Then download the code for Mega 2560 from the bottom the page.
