9 DoF Head Tracker

Arduino project that uses the reading from the IMU and sends it to OpenTrack for head tracking. Project is able to read yaw, roll and pitch.

🛠 Assembly

Parts needed:

✔ Arduino board (I used micro pro)

✔ GY-85

Connect pins:

Arduino	GY-85
5V (VCC on mirco pro)	VCC_IN
GND	GND
SCL (pin 3 on micro pro)	SCL
SDA (pin 2 on micro pro)	SDA

🤔 How to program Arduino?

There are 2 ways to program Arduino with provided code.

Using PlatformIO addon for Visual Studio Code:

Import project into PlatformIO, set up arduino board and communication port and finally upload.

Using ArduinoIDE:

Copy and paste contents of main code, import library from lib/GY-85, set up arduino board and communication port and finally upload.

🗨 How to recieve serial readings from arduino on PC?

I've provided python code that recieves sensor readings from Arduino throught serial communication protocol and sends them to OpenTrack using "UDP over network" method.

To run code type into terminal: python source.py
