Hi With the waveforms tool is it possible using python scripting in the Waveforms platform to do the following ?? Use the Digilent Analogue discovery 2 - Attach a device like a PMOD device eg accelerometer https://store.digilentinc.com/pmod-acl-3-axis-accelerometer/ using the Analogue discovery 2 ability to chat SPI & IC2 - pmod DEVICES SUPPORT 12-pin Pmod connector with SPI interface and 2×4-pin I²C interface - Then using the read information from the PMOD device treat it like an extra oscilloscope channel . Either as a Analog channel or Digital channel depending on the the signal type acquired from the PMOD device. This is possible with Labview but that would also require a lot of code writing. If this is possible this is outstanding feature when considering all the available PMOD devices available from the list https://store.digilentinc.com/by-function/input/ This would be a real product enhancement for Digilent and the Analog Discovery and help sell the AD2 in to many new places . Best wishes Simon

It seems like I have a problem with understanding the values I am getting from the accelerometer and gyroscope. First of all, it is stated that the IMU is using a left-handed coordinate system where Z is directing upwards. (as mentioned here :www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/DM00103319.pdf?_ga=2.91175770.1596273909.1572880735-388278844.1572880735) page number 10 However, I get +1 in the Z direction when the board is standing still ? I thought I should get -1 as the accleration is in the negative direction ? I thought that the sensor may be flipped upside down ( so one axis will be flipped while the other stays the same) but both of them are still flipped which does not make sense ? The gyroscope are following the (right hand rule ) even for a left coordinate system ? any help would be appreciated. Thanks !
