In the Addressing Information window, the section above the line displays information you will need to connect to your Phidget from
any application. In particular, note the
Channel Class
eld as this will be the API you will need to use with your Phidget, and the type of
example you should use to get started with it. The section below the line provides information about the network the Phidget is
connected on if it is attached remotely. Keep track of these parameters moving forward, as you will need them once you start running
our examples or your own code.
Using Your Own Program
You are now ready to start writing your own code for the device. The best way to do that is to start from our examples:
This Phidget is compatible with the following examples:
Spatial Examples
Accelerometer Examples
Gyroscope Examples
Magnetometer Examples.
Once you have your example, you will need to follow the instructions on the page for your programming language to get it running. To
nd these instructions, select your programming language from the Programming Languages page.
Technical Details
High Resolution Mode
When the 1044 measures an acceleration value with magnitude less than 2g, it will acquire its data from a higher precision
accelerometer chip. For these measurements, the average white noise on each axis will be reduced by approximately a factor of ten,
and the resolution will increase from 976 μg to 76 μg. Likewise, when the gyroscope measures a rotation value with magnitude less
than 300 °/s on the Z-axis or 400 °/s on the X or Y-axis, the noise per axis will be approximately six times lower, and the resolution will
increase from 0.07 °/s to 0.02 °/s. The transition from normal to high precision or vice-versa is seamless, with no additional code or
equations needed.
3-Axis Accelerometer
The 1044 has a 3-Axis accelerometer that can measure ±8 g's (±78 m/s2) per axis. It will measure both dynamic acceleration (change
in velocity) and static acceleration (gravity vector).
