Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL FeatherWing - Precision 9-DoF IMU
The Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL FeatherWing is a precision 9 Degree of Freedom (9-DoF) IMU add-on for any Feather board. It combines the LSM6DSOX accelerometer/gyroscope — known for its exceptionally low gyro drift and noise — with the LIS3MDL magnetometer for complete orientation and heading sensing.
The LSM6DSOX offers significantly better performance than older sensors like the MPU6050 or LSM6DS33, making it excellent for orientation fusion applications. It also includes built-in tap detection, activity detection, a pedometer, and a programmable finite state machine with machine learning core. Both sensors communicate over the shared I2C bus, with interrupt pins and address-selection jumpers broken out for advanced configurations.
Key Features
- Triple-Axis Accelerometer – ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7 kHz (LSM6DSOX)
- Triple-Axis Gyroscope – ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000 dps at 12.5 Hz to 6.7 kHz, with very low zero-rate drift
- Triple-Axis Magnetometer – Magnetic north detection for compass heading (LIS3MDL)
- Built-in Intelligence – Tap detection, activity detection, pedometer, and ML core for gesture recognition
- STEMMA QT Connector – Daisy-chain additional I2C sensors without soldering
- FeatherWing Form Factor – Stacks onto any Feather board via shared I2C bus
- Address Jumpers – Configurable I2C addresses to avoid conflicts or use multiple boards
- Arduino & CircuitPython Libraries – Full driver support with example code
Ideal For
- Precision orientation fusion (AHRS) with minimal drift
- Robotics navigation and attitude control
- Activity tracking and gesture recognition
- Adding 9-DoF motion sensing to any Feather project
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL 9-DoF FeatherWing (assembled and tested)
