Product description: LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL IMU 9DoF FeatherWing - 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer - shield for Feather - Adafruit 4565
This module from the Feather family combines an accelerometer , gyroscope, and magnetometer . It allows for the measurement of acceleration, angular velocity, and magnetic field in three axes . It is immune to noise and interference, ensuring fast and precise measurements. The module consists of two sensors: the LSM6DSOX and the LIS3MDL.
The module contains three sensors that together provide the ability to measure up to 9 degrees of freedom. Combining the information from each sensor allows for the precise determination of the board's orientation. Details on how to accomplish this task are provided in the manufacturer's guide .
Arduino compatible product The manufacturer provides a user guide along with the library . |

Measuring range
The LSM6DSOX is responsible for the accelerometer and gyroscope. The data range and transmission speed are very flexible, allowing us to obtain:
- For accelerometer : ±2 / ±4 / ±8 / ±16 g at an update rate of 1.6 Hz to 6.7 kHz
- For gyroscope : ±125 / ±250 / ±500 / ±1000 / ±2000 dps at 12.5 Hz to 6.7 KHz.
The module has a number of useful built-in features, including touch detection, activity detection, a pedometer and step counter, and basic gesture recognition. LIS3MDL is responsible for the magnetometer's operation. It allows you to determine the source of the magnetic force.
Derivations
The pins on the module are divided into two separate areas: the magnetometer and the gyrocompass/accelerometer. For more information on the pins, see the user guide .

LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL IMU 9DoF FeatherWing - 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer - shield for Feather - Adafruit 4565
This quick kit, which expands the capabilities of Feather boards, is equipped with top-quality sensors, including an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. The module combines high detection sensitivity with speed and accuracy of measurements.
Premium sensors are enhanced with many additional features. A high-quality accelerometer accurately measures position relative to the Earth's core (measuring gravity), and a gyroscope measures spin and rotation. The LSM6DS33 version is significantly more sensitive than the MPU6050, but also handles noise better, resulting in more accurate measurement results.
Top quality sensors for Feather
The Feather shield also supports Arduino and CircuitPython libraries. It connects via four mounting holes. The board's sensors are embedded on a shared I2C bus.
LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL IMU 9DoF FeatherWing - 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer - shield for Feather - Adafruit 4565 is an excellent expansion kit with high-quality sensors that will work well in many different projects.
