Grove - 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope
The Grove - 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope is a cost-effective Grove sensor integrated with a 3-axis digital accelerometer and a 3-axis digital gyroscope.
Overview
It has a low power consumption digital chip LSM6DS3 and power supply regulator which features high sensitivity and low noise interference. It can be configured to different levels of sensitivity to acceleration and can use different ranges of angular rate measurement. It is provided with a detailed SDK, which makes the prototyping process quick and easy.
This product is good for applications where tilt, motion, and tap sensing is needed.
Features:
- Grove interfaced and cost-effective.
- Digital-output for 6 DOF motion data.
- ±2/±4/±8/±16 g full scale leaner acceleration sensing range for various environment.
- ±125, ±245, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 degree per seconds(dps) for angular rate measurement range makes it versatile.
- A Detailed SDK for easy programming.
- Regulated power supply for reliable data to be collected.
- Programmed interrupts for different event.

For well over one hundred years, people have been constructing machines that dispense fortunes to those who ask at the insertion of a coin and the push of a button. In modern days, this has taken the form of mobile apps that can be far more expansive, albeit with a lack of physical interaction. Seeing an opportunity to use an embedded speech recognition model in this kind of application, the Electronic Cats team built the aptly named Fortune Cat just in time for some Halloween fun. This small device, based on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, takes advantage of the onboard microphone to listen for words being spoken at the small cube. Performing the language processing is Cyberon’s Arduino Speech Recognition Engine, which was configured to listen for the wake phrase “Fortune Cat” and then later respond to “tell me my future” as its command phrase. After generating the model online, it was incorporated into the code via the DSpotter software development kit that lets the program check if either the wake or action phrase has been said and then act accordingly. In this case, asking Fortune Cat for your future will present one of 20 random phrases that get displayed on the OLED mounted to the top of the 3D-printed enclosure.
