5/29/2019 PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3 High Resolution - 1044_1B at Phidgets The Spatial example demonstrates that you can receive data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer all at once by using the Spatial object rather than the other three objects individually. Finding The Addressing Information Before you can access the device in your own code, and from our examples, you'll need to take note of the addressing parameters for your Phidget.
5/29/2019 PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3 High Resolution - 1044_1B at Phidgets In the Addressing Information window, the section above the line displays information you will need to connect to your Phidget from any application. In particular, note the Channel Class eld as this will be the API you will need to use with your Phidget, and the type of example you should use to get started with it.
5/29/2019 PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3 High Resolution - 1044_1B at Phidgets Orientation When working with an accelerometer it is important to know which is the positive and negative direction on each of the axes. This can be determined by orienting the accelerometer along each axis and checking the output. The above image shows what the axis readings should be for each orientation of the 1044. For more information on how to use the accelerometer, check the Accelerometer Primer.

Magnetic Error Correction (Calibration) In order to get numbers of useful accuracy from the 1044's compass you will need to provide calibration parameters. To make determining them easy, we distribute a program with our drivers that does this for you. To calibrate your compass: Navigate to the Phidgets installation folder on your computer.
5/29/2019 PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3 High Resolution - 1044_1B at Phidgets Rotate the compass around (including whatever equipment you have mounted it to) such that the red dots being generated on screen outline as much of a full sphere (in 3-axis) as possible. This will take several minutes. Being perfect is not necessary but try to be as thorough as time permits. Once done, click stop. If you are in a large vehicle, you will be aiming to ll out a disc instead of a sphere.
