Adafruit LSM6DSOX 6 DoF Accelerometer and Gyroscope - QT / Qwiic EMBLEM

Description

Behold, the ST LSM6DSOX: The latest in a long line of quality Accelerometer + Gyroscope 6-DOF IMUs from ST.

This IMU sensor has 6 degrees of freedom - 3 degrees each of linear acceleration and angular velocity at varying rates within a respectable range. For the accelerometer: ± 2 / ± 4 / ± 8 / ± 16 g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7KHz update rate. For the gyroscope: ± 125 / ± 250 / ± 500 / ± 1000 / ± 2000 dps at 12.5 Hz to 6.7 KHz. There's also some nice extras, such as built in tap detection, activity detection, pedometer / step counter and a programmable finite state machine / machine learning core that can perform some basic gesture recognition.

For interfacing, you can use either SPI or I2C - there's two configurable interrupt pins. For advanced usage, you can attach additional devices to an external I2C/ SPI port - used for optical image stabilization.

To make getting started fast and easy, we placed the sensors on compact breakout boards with voltage regulation and level-shifted inputs. T.hat way you can use them with 3V or 5V power / logic devices without worry.

We also wrote libraries to help you get these sensors integrated with your Arduino / C ++ or Circuit Python / Python boards such as Raspberry Pi or other single board computers.

Additionally since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!). We've even included SparkFun qwiiccompatible EMBLEM QT connectors for the I2C bus so you don't even need to solder! Just wire up to your favorite micro like the STM32F405 Feather with a plug-and-play cable to get 6 DoF data ASAP.
