Description:

Add motion, direction, and orientation sensing to your project with this all-in-one 9-DOF sensor that is STEMMA QT ready for easy plug-n-play usage. Inside the chip are three sensors, one is a classic 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity) or how fast the board is accelerating in 3D space. The other is a 3-axis magnetometer that can sense where the strongest magnetic force is coming from, generally used to detect magnetic north. The third is a 3-axis gyroscope that can measure spin and twist. By combining this data you can REALLY orient yourself.

Here are the key LSM9DS1 specifications:

• Accelerometer range is ±2/±4/±8/±16 g
• Magnetometer range is ±4/±8/±12/±16 gauss
• Gyroscope range is ±245/±500/±2000 dps ranges.
