Micro-RDK Movement Sensor Models
A movement sensor is a sensor that gives data on where a machine is and how fast it is moving. For more information and models supported by the RDK, see Movement Sensor Component.
Supported models
For configuration information, click a supported movement sensor model name:
| Model | Description |
|---|---|
accel-adxl345 | The Analog Devices ADXL345 digital accelerometer |
gyro-mpu6050 | A gyroscope/accelerometer manufactured by TDK InvenSense |
Add support for other models
If none of the existing models fit your use case, you can create a modular resource to add support for it.
The micro-RDK works differently from the RDK, so creating modular resources for it is different. Refer to the Micro-RDK Module Template on GitHub for information on how to create custom resources for your micro-RDK machine. You will need to recompile and flash your ESP32 yourself instead of using Viam’s prebuilt binary and installer.
API
The micro-RDK movement sensor API supports only the following client SDK API methods, which operate the same as in the full-featured RDK:
GetReadings()GetAngularVelocity()GetLinearVelocity()GetCompassHeading()GetPosition()GetProperties()GetLinearAcceleration()DoCommand()
