Project 2: MinIMU-9 v2 with EagleSoC Dev. Board
This project demonstrates MinIMU-9 v2 interface with the EagleSoC board via Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocol.
The MinIMU-9 v2 sensor is used to calculate Euler Angles displacement based on the Accelerometer, Magnetometer, and Gyroscope readings. The acquired information is corrected in real-time via built-in Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) algorithm. MinIMU-9 v2 sensor is shown in Figure 1.

PSoC Creator allows drag and drop of hardware modules in the "Top Design" area.
The interfacing components for each hardware block with required interconnections are shown in Figure 2.

Before exiting configuration you must disable two more Linker options! Warning, failure to do so will cause problems with floating point objects, which is crucial for this project. By default, Cypress has enabled Default and Newlib-Nano libraries. You must set them to "false" as shown on Figure 18. Then press OK to complete project configuration.

Now we are ready to add components. On the right hand side of your PSoC Creator you may find Component Catalog. In its search field type in "Timer"
Figure 20: Component Catalog - Timer
Drag and drop the timer object anywhere on the Top Design area.
Figure 21: Drag and Drop Timer
Double-click on the timer's clock component and use Figure 22 to set a New clock with frequency of 100kHz and tolerance of -/+ 5%. Click "OK".
