Mac interface

Post by rasantia »

I´d like to ask what is the most straightforward way to interface a 6DOF (or 9DOF) sensor to a Mac, directly without going through an Arduino card.
Could that be possible?

What is your level of expertise? the most straightforward way would be to buy one that outputs it's data in serial format. Otherwise you will need to build a circuit that talks to the IMU and translates to serial.

Thank you for your post, Franklin

I´d rather use the serial option ( I suppose that the Adafruit 9-DOF provides it ).
But, how could send the I2C format to a Mac ? I dont see any Adafruit board that could do this job.
I am just programmer, not a hardware expert.

Thanks again

Rafael

You are going to have to use a micro in the mix (to make it easier) Take a look at the micro https://www.adafruit.com/product/1315
