I have a bot board with an atom pro 28. it’s the pink atom pro. well i was wondering what sensors would work with the bot board. a few i have in mind are

robot-electronics.co.uk/shop … 032004.htm
it is a compass. is it usable if so could you tell me how.

if you have any gyros or range finders that would work or could be used would also be helpful.

also if you maybe list a few good sites or maybe a way to tell if i can use the sensors.

thanks

Yes, you should be able to connect this sensor to the Atom Pro. It uses the I2C interface. On my Brat with the Atom Pro I have a SRF08 sensor that also uses I2C. You need to add pull-up resistors on the I2C lines (SCL and SDA), which on my board I used IO pins 4 and 5.

On the Atom Pro you can use the I2CIN and the I2COUT commands to talk to the device. I am using version 8000 of the Pro IDE.

Good Luck
