ADIS16266 EVALUATION ON THE EVAL-ADIS
OVERVIEW
The ADIS16266 iSensor® is a high performance, digital gyroscope sensing system that operates autonomously and requires no user configuration to produce accurate rate sensing data. It provides performance advantages with high dynamic range, wide bandwidth, and solid linear-acceleration rejection, which are enabling for robotics and industrial instrumentation systems. The ADIS16266 uses a serial peripheral interface for data communications. This interface enables direct connection with a large variety of embedded processor products. This electrical connection typically only requires 5 I/O lines for synchronous data collection, as shown in the following figure:
ADIS16266/PCB BREAKOUT BOARD
For those who are on a tight timeline, connecting the ADIS16266 to an embedded controller will provide the most flexibility in developing application firmware and will more closely reflect the final system design. The ADIS16266/PCBZ is the breakout board for the ADIS16266 and may provide assistance in the process of hooking it up to an existing embedded processor system. For more information on the ADIS16266/PCBZ breakout boards, check out the following datasheet link.
EVAL-ADIS: PC EVALUATION
For those who would prefer to perform PC-based evaluation of the ADIS16266, before developing their own embedded system, the EVAL-ADIS is the appropriate system to use. The remainder of this Wiki site will focus on PC-based evaluation with the EVAL-ADIS system.
EQUIPMENT LIST
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows XP, Vista, 7
.NET 3.5 Framework
PHYSICAL SETUP
The ADIS16266/PCBZ requires four M2 machine screws to secure it to the EVAL-ADIS.
IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Click here to download the IMU Evaluation software to a personal computer, which enables PC-based evaluation of all ADIS1648x products on an EVAL-ADIS evaluation system. The download file will contain three separate files: The USB driver (SDPDrivers.exe), the application file (IMUEvaluation.exe) and the revision table. Copy these files to a convenient folder for running the application from.
USB Driver Installation
The SDPDrivers.exe file contains USB drivers that are compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems. Double-click on the SDPDrivers.exe file and follow the prompts to install the USB driver files onto the PC. When the following window appears, click on Next and then click on Install to continue with the installation.
The following pictures show the progress bar and the final confirmation window. Click on Finish to complete the installation.
IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE GUIDE
After the USB driver installation is complete, connect the EVAL-ADIS USB connector to the PC, using the USB Mini cable, from the EVAL-ADIS kit. LED2 will illuminate as soon as this connection is made. This indicates that the EVAL-ADIS has power and is going through its start-up/initialization process. After the EVAL-ADIS completes its this process, LED1 will illuminate, indicating that it is time to launch the IMU Evaluation application. During the initialization process, several messages may appear on the screen. They are related to updating the EVAL-ADIS firmware and establishing communication between the PC and the EVAL-ADIS. Once LED1 lights up, double click on the IMU_Evaluation.exe file to launch the application.
