PCB Question.

I recently purchased these following items from Sparkfun.

Triple-Axis Digital-Output Gyro ITG-3200 Breakout sku: SEN-09801

Triple Axis Magnetometer Breakout - HMC5843 sku: SEN-09371

Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - MMA7260Q sku: SEN-00252

I would like to integrate/solder the 3 breakouts onto one PCB board design, I noticed that the breakout board’s aren’t included in the Sparkfun library.

I am not familiar with the exact accurate dimensions. Could someone please help?

Greatly Appreciated!

When I had that problem with one of their breakout boards I emailed them and they sent me the dimensions.

If its not too late, use a digital accel like the ADXL345: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9156, or the digital IMU combo: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10121.

The digital sensors provide on chip filtering and can share the same I2C bus. The analog sensors are a pain in comparison.

I’m not sure if you have considered this, but why not do away with the individual breakouts and just design a board for direct mounting of the sensors? Obviosuly you have some kind of integrated project in mind. Just design a single board around that and include the actual part footprints on the single board.

At least that is how I would approach this.
