SparkFun Micro 6DoF IMU – ISM330DHCX (Qwiic)

The SparkFun Qwiic Micro ISM330DHCX Six Degrees of Freedom IMU is a micro-sized 0.75in. by 0.30in. sensor featuring STMicroelectronics’ ISM330DHCX; a high-performance 3D digital accelerometer and 3D digital gyroscope tailored for Industry 4.0. Applications such as platform, optical image, lens stabilization, robotics and industrial automation, navigation systems, and vibration monitoring and compensation are made easy with this small board. The Qwiic 6DoF IMU communicates over I²C by default, utilizing our handy Qwiic Connect System so no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your boards.

This 6DoF IMU Breakout has a full-scale acceleration range of ±2/±4/±8/±16 g and a wide angular rate range of ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000/±4000 dps that enable its usage in a broad range of applications. Multiple modes allow for peripheral only, secondary I²C, and auxiliary three or four-wire serial interface. An unmatched set of embedded features (Machine Learning Core, programmable FSM, FIFO, sensor hub, event decoding and interrupts) are enablers for implementing smart and complex sensor nodes which deliver high performance at very low power.

Note: The Redboard is NOT included
