Integrating Gyroscope and Accelerometer to 8051 Training circuit?

[Billy]

Hello guys,!

 

I’m new to this forum and just want to ask some advise from the experts here.

 

My teacher has tasked me to come up with a new circuit design for the students in my school to use as a learning tool for 8051 Microcontroller.

 

I do not have any experience doing this and my teacher is too busy to help.

 

He wishes for me to add 2 sensors to the 8051 training circuit, the Gyroscope and Accelerometer. 

 

How do I do that?

 

Thanks!

 

Looking forward to replies from the pros.

Hi,

I’ve little idea about gyroscope. But I’ve used an accelerometer, which gives analog output, so that it is easy to interface using an adc. There are actually veriety of kinds available, differ by the way in which it can communicate with the MCU. I suggest you to google for both the modules, and select one which can communicate with the 8051.

The thing is that, your 8051 don’t have ADC (but you can connect an external ADC), and also advanced communication modules like SPI, TWI etc. Consider those things also while selecting.

Thank you so much for your reply. Appreciate it.

You are welcome Billy!

Was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to use gyroscope and accelerator as a learning tool for engineering students?
