ICM42688
1.0.0
Arduino library for communicating with the ICM42688 six-axis Inertial Measurement Units (IMU).
The InvenSense ICM42688 supports I2C, up to 400 kHz, and SPI communication, up to 1 MHz for register setup and 24 MHz for data reading. The following selectable full scale sensor ranges are available:
| Gyroscope Full Scale Range | Accelerometer Full Scale Range |
|---|---|
| +/- 15.6 (deg/s) | - |
| +/- 31.2 (deg/s) | - |
| +/- 62.5 (deg/s) | - |
| +/- 125 (deg/s) | - |
| +/- 250 (deg/s) | +/- 2 (g) |
| +/- 500 (deg/s) | +/- 4 (g) |
| +/- 1000 (deg/s) | +/- 8 (g) |
| +/- 2000 (deg/s) | +/- 16 (g) |
The ICM42688 samples the gyroscopes, and accelerometers with 16 bit analog to digital converters. It also features programmable digital filters, a precision clock, an embedded temperature sensor, programmable interrupts (including wake on motion), and a 512 byte FIFO buffer.
This library supports both I2C and SPI communication with the ICM42688.
Simply clone or download this library into your Arduino/libraries folder.
This library supports both I2C and SPI communication with the ICM42688. The ICM42688 object declaration is overloaded with different declarations for I2C and SPI communication. All other functions remain the same. Additionally, a derived class, ICM42688FIFO, is included, which provides FIFO setup and data collection functionality in addition to all of the functionality included in the base ICM42688 class.
ICM42688(TwoWire &bus, uint8_t address) An ICM42688 object should be declared, specifying the I2C bus and ICM42688 I2C address. The ICM42688 I2C address will be 0x68 if the AD0 pin is grounded or 0x69 if the AD0 pin is pulled high. For example, the following code declares an ICM42688 object called IMU with an ICM42688 sensor located on I2C bus 0 with a sensor address of 0x68 (AD0 grounded).
ICM42688 IMU(Wire, 0x68);ICM42688(TwoWire &bus, uint8_t address) An ICM42688 object should be declared, specifying the I2C bus and ICM42688 I2C address. The ICM42688 I2C address will be 0x68 if the AD0 pin is grounded or 0x69 if the AD0 pin is pulled high. For example, the following code declares an ICM42688 object called IMU with an ICM42688 sensor located on I2C bus 0 with a sensor address of 0x68 (AD0 grounded). You should specify the SDA and SCL pins for your I2C connection (default for Arduino is SDA=18, SCL=19, ESP32 is SDA=21, SCL=22)
ICM42688 IMU(Wire, 0x68, _sda_pin, _scl_pin);ICM42688FIFO(SPIClass &bus, uint8_t csPin, uint32_t SPI_HS_CLK=8000000) An ICM42688 object should be declared, specifying the SPI bus and chip select pin used. Multiple ICM42688 or other SPI objects could be used on the same SPI bus, each with their own chip select pin. The chip select pin can be any available digital pin. For example, the following code declares an ICM42688 object called IMU with an ICM42688 sensor located on SPI bus 0 with chip select pin 10.
ICM42688 IMU(SPI, 10);Note that the default high-speed SPI bus clock is set to 8 MHz, but the ICM 42688-p supports up to 24 MHz SPI clock. Use a faster clock for faster SPI data transfers when reading data.
The following functions are used to setup the ICM42688 sensor. These should be called once before data collection, typically this is done in the Arduino setup() function. The begin() function should always be used. Optionally, the setAccelFS and setGyroFS, setAccelODR, and setGyroODR functions can be used to set the accelerometer and gyroscope full scale ranges and output data rate to values other than default. The enableDataReadyInterrupt and disableDataReadyInterrupt control whether the ICM42688 generates an interrupt on data ready. The enableFifo sets up and enables the FIFO buffer. These functions are described in detail, below.
int begin() This should be called in your setup function. It initializes communication with the ICM42688, sets up the sensor for reading data, and estimates the gyro bias, which is removed from the sensor data. This function returns a positive value on a successful initialization and returns a negative value on an unsuccessful initialization. If unsuccessful, please check your wiring or try resetting power to the sensor. The following is an example of setting up the ICM42688.
int status = IMU.begin();(optional) int setAccelRange(AccelRange range) This function sets the accelerometer full scale range to the given value. By default, if this function is not called, a full scale range of +/- 16 g will be used. The enumerated accelerometer full scale ranges are:
| Accelerometer Name | Accelerometer Full Scale Range |
|---|---|
| gpm2 | +/- 2 (g) |
| gpm4 | +/- 4 (g) |
| gpm8 | +/- 8 (g) |
| gpm16 | +/- 16 (g) |
This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. Please see the Advanced_I2C example. The following is an example of selecting an accelerometer full scale range of +/- 8g.
status = IMU.setAccelFS(ICM42688::gpm2);(optional) int setGyroRange(GyroRange range) This function sets the gyroscope full scale range to the given value. By default, if this function is not called, a full scale range of +/- 2000 deg/s will be used. The enumerated gyroscope full scale ranges are:

|---|---|
| dps15_625 | +/- 15.625 (deg/s) |
| dps31_25 | +/- 31.25 (deg/s) |
| dps62_5 | +/- 62.5 (deg/s) |
| dps125 | +/- 125 (deg/s) |
| dps250 | +/- 250 (deg/s) |
| dps500 | +/- 500 (deg/s) |
| dps1000 | +/- 1000 (deg/s) |
| dps2000 | +/- 2000 (deg/s) |
This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. Please see the Advanced_I2C example. The following is an example of selecting an gyroscope full scale range of +/- 250 deg/s.
status = IMU.setGyroFS(ICM42688::dps250);(optional) int setFilters(bool gyroFilters, bool accFilters) This is an optional function to set the programmable Filters (Notch Filter, Anti-Alias Filter, UI Filter Block). By default, All filters are turn on. The following figure shows a block diagram of the signal path for ICM42688:
This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. The following is an example of turning the filters on.
status = IMU.setFilters(true, true);(optional) int enableDataReadyInterrupt() An interrupt is tied to the data output rate. The ICM42688 INT pin will issue a 50us pulse when data is ready. This is extremely useful for using interrupts to clock data collection that should occur at a regular interval. Please see the Interrupt_SPI example. This function enables this interrupt, which will occur at a frequency given by the SRD. This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. The following is an example of enabling the data ready interrupt.
status = IMU.enableDataReadyInterrupt();(optional) int disableDataReadyInterrupt() This function disables the data ready interrupt, described above. This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. The following is an example of disabling the data ready interrupt.
status = IMU.disableDataReadyInterrupt();(optional) uin8_t isInterrupted() This function read the data ready interrupt register. This function returns true when it is interrupted. The following is an example of read the data ready interrupt register.
status = IMU.isInterrupted();(optional) int calibrateGyro() The gyro bias is automatically estimated during the begin() function and removed from sensor measurements. This function will re-estimate the gyro bias and remove the new bias from future sensor measurements. The sensor should be stationary during this process. This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. The following is an example of estimating new gyro biases.

float gzb = 0.001; // gyro bias of 0.001 deg/s
IMU.setGyroBiasZ(gzb);(optional) int calibrateAccel() This function will estimate the bias and scale factor needed to calibrate the accelerometers. This function works one axis at a time and needs to be run for all 6 sensor orientations. After it has collected enough sensor data, it will estimate the bias and scale factor for all three accelerometer channels and apply these corrections to the measured data. Accelerometer calibration only needs to be performed once on the IMU, the get and set functions detailed below can be used to retrieve the estimated bias and scale factors and use them during future power cycles or operations with the IMU.

float temperature = IMU.temp();The ICM42688FIFO derived class extends the functionality provided by the ICM42688 base class by providing support for setting up and reading the ICM42688FIFO buffer. All of the functions described above, as part of the ICM42688 class are also available to the ICM42688FIFO class.
ICM42688FIFO(TwoWire &bus, uint8_t address) An ICM42688FIFO object should be declared, specifying the I2C bus and ICM42688 I2C address. The ICM42688 I2C address will be 0x68 if the AD0 pin is grounded or 0x69 if the AD0 pin is pulled high. For example, the following code declares an ICM42688FIFO object called IMU with an ICM42688 sensor located on I2C bus 0 with a sensor address of 0x68 (AD0 grounded).
ICM42688FIFO IMU(Wire, 0x68);ICM42688FIFO(SPIClass &bus, uint8_t csPin, uint32_t SPI_HS_CLK=8000000) An ICM42688FIFO object should be declared, specifying the SPI bus and chip select pin used. Multiple ICM42688 or other SPI objects could be used on the same SPI bus, each with their own chip select pin. The chip select pin can be any available digital pin. For example, the following code declares an ICM42688FIFO object called IMU with an ICM42688 sensor located on SPI bus 0 with chip select pin 10.
ICM42688FIFO IMU(SPI, 10);Note that the default high-speed SPI bus clock is set to 8 MHz, but the ICM 42688-p supports up to 24 MHz SPI clock. Use a faster clock for faster SPI data transfers when reading data.
(optional) int enableFifo(bool accel,bool gyro,bool temp) This function configures and enables the ICM42688 FIFO buffer. This 512 byte buffer samples data at the data output rate set by the SRD and enables the micro controller to bulk read the data, reducing micro controller workload for certain applications. It is configured with a set of boolean values describing which data to buffer in the FIFO: accelerometer, gyroscope, or temperature. The accelerometer and gyroscope data each take 6 bytes of space per sample and the temperature 2 bytes. It's important to select only the data sources desired to ensure that the FIFO does not overrun between reading it. For example, enabling all of the data sources would take 21 bytes per sample allowing the FIFO to hold only 24 samples before overflowing. If only the accelerometer data is needed, this increases to 85 samples before overflowing. This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure. Please see the FIFO_SPI example. The following is an example of enabling the FIFO to buffer accelerometer and gyroscope data.
status = IMU.enableFifo(true,true,false,false);int readFifo() reads the FIFO buffer from the ICM42688, parses it and stores the data in buffers on the micro controller. It should be called every time you would like to retrieve data from the FIFO buffer. This function returns a positive value on success and a negative value on failure.
