Description:
The PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 Basic (1042_0B) combines the functionality of a 3-axis compass, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis accelerometer all in one convenient package. It is an inexpensive alternative to the 1044_0B - PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3, and is ideal for applications where it's more important to know the general motion of an object rather than the precise amounts. The PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 connects directly to a computer's USB Port

The 1042 could be used to:
- Track whether an object is moving, and in which direction
- Detect the presence of nearby movement or vibration
- Track the orientation of a stationary object relative to the earth's gravitational pull and the direction relative to magnetic north
