Qwiic 6DoF (LSM6DSO) Breakout Hookup Guide
Resources and Going Further
There are a gazillion ways to use an IMU, from simple gravity sensing to advanced motion tracking. There are so many ways to configure the LSM6DSO! After you've used your Arduino and the examples to get the hang of things, use this process:
- Read the datasheet and application note!
- Design an experiment to try an idea
- Measure the results
Only this, is the way to improve.
- Schematic (PDF)
- Eagle Files (ZIP)
- Board Dimensions (PNG)
- Datasheet (PDF) - This datasheet covers everything from the hardware and pinout of the IC, to the register mapping of the gyroscope and accelerometer.
- Application Notes (PDF) - This application note has the same information as the datasheet, but puts real English words in there to try and help out the humans. Use both this and the datasheet together in a tabbed PDF viewer, with the index window open, for maximum efficiency.

How to use and re-program the OpenLog Artemis, an open source datalogger. The OLA comes preprogrammed to automatically log data. The OLA can also record serial data, analog voltages, or readings from external Qwiic-enabled I2C devices. Some of these Qwiic-enabled devices include GPS/GNSS modules, pressure, altitude, humidity, temperature, air quality, environment, distance, and weight sensors.
