Hi everybody, I need some help.
I'm working on a project of 1-axis angular rate sensor (gyroscope) able to sense an angular rate of 10rpm...communicating with a microcontroller MSP430 on I2C bus. This sensor has to be mounted (obviously only ideally) on a attitude control system of a satellite.
I have read something about all components and some datasheets, but I have some doubts yet:
1. I chose a gyroscope from Analog Devices (https://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/ADXRS620.pdf)
2. I think I need to design a conditioning circuit in order to interface the output sensor with the uC
3. then I have to program the uC MSP430 in order to manage all parts
Some questions:
- what about I2C bus? do I have to choose a particular sensor (for example with digital output) or can choose a ADC with I2C output or what else?
- does someone have some useful advices for my work, links on projects or schematic design whom I can look at?
Thank you all
Joe
