The SparkFun LSM9DS1 Breakout is a versatile, motion-sensing system-in-a-chip. It houses a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer \u2013 nine degrees of freedom (9DOF) on a single board! The LSM9DS1 from STMicroelectronics is equipped with a digital interface, but even that is flexible: it supports both I2<\/sup>C and SPI, so you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a microcontroller it doesn\u2019t work with. This IMU-in-a-chip is so cool we put it on the quarter-sized breakout board you are currently viewing!<\/p>\n\n The LSM9DS1 is one of only a handful of IC\u2019s that can measure three key properties of movement \u2013 angular velocity, acceleration, and heading \u2013 in a single IC. By measuring these three properties, you can gain a great deal of knowledge about an object\u2019s movement and orientation. The LSM9DS1 measures each of these movement properties in three dimensions. That means it produces nine pieces of data: acceleration in x\/y\/z, angular rotation in x\/y\/z, and magnetic force in x\/y\/z. The LSM9DS1 Breakout has labels indicating the accelerometer and gyroscope axis orientations, which share a right-hand rule relationship with each other.<\/p>\n\n Each sensor in the LSM9DS1 supports a wide spectrum of ranges: the accelerometer\u2019s scale can be set to \u00b1 2, 4, 8, or 16 g, the gyroscope supports \u00b1 245, 500, and 2000 \u00b0\/s, and the magnetometer has full-scale ranges of \u00b1 4, 8, 12, or 16 gauss.<\/p>\n\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Documents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
