How to make SPort Sensor using Arduino

[davemcddd]

I'm wanting to create an SPort sensor using an ICM20649 accelerometer connected to an Arduino that will send real time telemetry back to the transmitter.
Has anybody here already done that? Is there a sketch already available? Or at least a sketch for SPort that could be modified to interface with the ICM20649 board?

Or does this question belong in another section of the Aloft Forums?

You likely want an openXsensor. This has been around for years using an Arduino Pro Mini to provide many SPort sensors.
There is also a version that uses a (much more powerful) RP2040 board.
These both support a MP6050 gyro device, but have all the code to connect to the SPort. The RP2040 version also supports FBUS.
Both are on Github.

RP2040 version see https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4130529-openXsensor-on-RP2040-board

Thank you Mike!
But I already have an Arduino Nano and an Adafruit ICM20649 accelerometer board that I'd like to use if possible.
