# Getting Started Guide

### Parts Supplied

The following parts are supplied with the IMU sensor: 

1. Chip Robotics IMU Sensor
2. USB cable

### Connectors

To communicate with the IMU sensor you can either use USB or UART. 

#### USB Connector

A standard mini USB connector is used to connect to the IMU Sensor.

#### UART Connector

A 4 pin Molex connector is used for the UART connection, with the following pins 3.3V input, Tx, Rx, GND.  The pitch of the connector is 2.54mm (0.100”) so standard Dupont connector / jumper wires can be used for testing. However for a secure connection, the following Molex connector should be used `0050579404`Pins for the connector are purchased separately and details can be found on the Molex website. A typical pin used for such connection is Molex `0016020102`.

### Software

Install the Chip Robotics IMU Sensor for Windows or Linux.
