Sensors / Accel, Gyro, and Magnetometers / 6-DoF Accel + Gyro IMU

I mew, you mew we all mew for IMU! The MPU-6050 is what we call "an oldie but goodie" - this popular triple-axis accelerometer plus gyro combo has been a staple of electronic projects for years, and we've finally gotten around to making a breakout for it! Inside are two sensors, one is a classic 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell you which direction is down towards...

Behold, the ST LSM6DSOX: The latest in a long line of quality Accelerometer+Gyroscope 6-DOF IMUs from ST. This IMU sensor has 6 degrees of freedom - 3 degrees each of linear acceleration and angular velocity at varying rates within a respectable range. For the accelerometer: ±2/±4/±8/±16 g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7KHz update rate. For the...

Behold, the ST LSM6DSO32: The latest in a long line of quality Accelerometer+Gyroscope 6-DOF IMUs from ST. This IMU is like a big sister to the LSM6DSOX; it has the same pinout and firmware - but the accelerometer component can go up to 32g instead of the normal 16g maximum. This IMU sensor has 6 degrees of freedom - 3 degrees each of linear acceleration and angular...

Behold, the ST ISM330DHCX: an industrial quality Accelerometer+Gyroscope 6-DOF IMUs (inertial measurement unit) from ST. This IMU sensor has 6 degrees of freedom - 3 degrees each of linear acceleration and angular velocity at varying rates within a respectable range. For the accelerometer: ±2/±4/±8/±16 g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7KHz update rate....

Most accelerometers have a similar range of measurements that they can make: often around 2G - 16G. Similarly, most gyros can measure in the range of 250 degree/s to 2000 degrees/s. That's enough for many situations, however, there are many situations where it's not quite enough. When measuring things like a golf swing, soccer ball kick or perhaps a fancy racing car,...

Add motion and orientation sensing to your Arduino project with this affordable 6 Degree of Freedom (6-DoF) sensor with sensors from ST. The board includes an LSM6DS33, a 6-DoF IMU accelerometer + gyro. The 3-axis accelerometer, can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity) or how fast the board is accelerating in 3D space. The 3-axis...
