Behold, the ST LSM6DSO32: The latest in a long line ofquality Accelerometer+Gyroscope 6-DOF IMUs from ST. This lil IMU is like a big sister to the LSM6DSOX, it has the same pin out 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 velocity at varying rates within a respectable range. For the accelerometer: plusmn;4/plusmn;8/plusmn;16/plusmn;32 g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7KHz update rate . For the gyroscope:plusmn;125/plusmn;250/plusmn;500/plusmn;1000/plusmn;2000 dpsat 12.5 Hz to 6.7 KHz. There#39;s 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.
For interfacing, you can use either SPI or I2C - there#39;s two configurable interrupt pins. For advanced usage, you can attach additional devices to an external I2C/SPI port - used for optical image stabilization.
To make getting started fast and easy, we placed the sensors on compact breakout boards with voltage regulation and level-shifted inputs. That way you can use them with 3V or 5V power/logic devices without worry.
We also wrote libraries to help you get these sensors integrated with your Arduino/C++ or CircuitPython/Python boards such as Raspberry Pi or other single board computers.
Additionally since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!). We#39;ve even includedSparkFun qwiiccompatibleSTEMMA QTconnectors for the I2C bus soyou don#39;t even need to solder!Just wire up to your favorite micro like the STM32F405 Featherwith a plug-and-play cable to get 6 DoF data ASAP.
