The measurement is of the die itself and will typically be near ambient. The MPU-9250 can measure temperature over the range of -40 to 85☌. Manipulating the data into something meaningful is more of a challenge, but there are some good libraries available for using the device. The module is relatively easy to get up and running and capturing the raw data output of the device. Using the SPI interface requires level translation. Since the module uses I2C which is open-drain with pull-ups to 3.3V, level translation is generally not considered necessary when using it with a 5V MCU. but the module contains a 3.3V regulator so the module should be supplied with 5V on the VCC pin. A built-in temperature sensor is also provided for measuring the chip die temperature and has a wide measurement range from -40C to +85C.Ĭommunications between the sensor and the MCU is done over either the I2C or SPI interface. The magnetometer makes use of three 14-bit ADCs. The MPU-9250 is a high performance accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer option for use in applications such as gesture recognition in gaming, self-balancing robots, toys, cell phones, vehicle navigation, fitness monitoring and similar applications where detection of movement direction and magnitude along with rotation is desired.īoth the accelerometer and gyroscope each makes use of three 16-bit ADCs with four programmable ranges for high sensitivity.
