Faulty Gyro on 10DOF?

Post by peebes »

Order #: 610038-8009918020

I received a 10DOF last week from adafruit. Attempts to connect to the on board Gyro via I2C are failing, but I am able to connect to all the other sensors appropriately. The .begin() call on the Gyro fails, but the other sensors initialize appropriately. I'm using the tester sketch from the Adafruit_10DOF library. (See output at bottom)

If I comment out the Gyro code blocks, the system initializes and reports sensor readings (sans Gyro). I did notice the min/max ranges on the other sensors are 0 except for the BMP085 - I'm not sure that is an indicator of other issues or not. The other sensors appear to report appropriate values.

******* With gyro.begin() in the code ****
Adafruit 10DOF Tester

Ooops, no L3GD20 detected ... Check your wiring or I2C ADDR!Adafruit 10DOF Tester

If the rest of the devices are responding normally, then your wiring must be OK. Please contact [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement.

Worked like a charm. Thank You! It appears the replacement part will be here today. If you will tell me how to properly address the package, I will get it on the way back to you.
