This breakout does not include a magnetometer, often required for accurate

orientation. We recommend the LIS3MDL 3-axis magnetometer to match up with

this IMU. We even have a version that contains both!

Additionally since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus

power and ground!). We've even included SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA

QT connectors for the I2C bus so you don't even need to solder! Just wire up to

your favorite micro like the STM32F405 Feather with a plug-and-play cable to

get 6 DoF data ASAP. You can change the I2C address on the back using the

solder jumper, to have two of these sensor boards on one bus.

We also wrote libraries to help you get these sensors integrated with your

Arduino/C++. This library contains an Arduino driver for the accel/gyro. For

advanced Arduino usage, ST has their own fully-featured library that includes

extras such as FIFO management and tap detection for the LSM6DS3.
