The LSM6DSOX has flexible data rates and ranges. For the

accelerometer: ±2/±4/±8/±16 g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7KHz update rate. For the

gyroscope: ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000 dps at 12.5 Hz to 6.7 KHz. There

are also some nice extras, such as built-in tap detection, activity detection,

pedometer/step counter, and a programmable finite state machine / machine

learning core that can perform some basic gesture recognition.

It also includes a LIS3MDL 3-axis magnetometer that can sense where the

strongest magnetic force is coming from, generally used to detect magnetic

north. The three triple-axis sensors add up to 9 degrees of freedom, by

combining this data you can orient the board. Check out our guide on how to do

that!

Both sensors are connected over the shared I2C bus, so you can use it with any

and all Feathers! We also break out the interrupt pins and address-selection

jumpers in case you want multiple Feathers or have I2C address conflicts. We've

got both Arduino (C/C++) and CircuitPython libraries available so you can use it

with any Feather board and get data readings in under 5 minutes. Four

mounting holes make for a secure connection.

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

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

QT connector for the I2C bus so you don't even need to solder to connect more

of your favorite ST sensors like the LPS25! Simply connect a plug-and-play cable

to more sensor data, OLED displays, or other I2C devices connected ASAP.

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

Arduino/C++. This library covers the accel/gyro and this library is for the

magnetometer. For advanced Arduino usage, ST has their own fully-featured

library that includes extras such as FIFO management and tap detection for the

LSM6DSOX and also for the LIS3MDL magnetometer.

Comes fully tested and assembled with a bit of standard 0.1" header.
