Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL - Precision 9 DoF IMU
The Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL is a precision 9 Degree of Freedom (9-DoF) inertial measurement unit on a single breakout board. It combines the LSM6DSOX accelerometer/gyroscope — known for exceptionally low gyro drift and noise — with the LIS3MDL magnetometer for complete orientation and heading sensing.
The LSM6DSOX delivers significantly better performance than older sensors like the MPU6050 or LSM6DS33, making it excellent for orientation fusion applications with less drift and faster responses. It also includes built-in tap detection, activity detection, a pedometer, and a programmable finite state machine with machine learning core for gesture recognition.
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 / Qwiic – Solderless I2C connectors for easy plug-and-play wiring
- Configurable I2C Addresses – Solder jumpers for running multiple boards on one bus
- 3.3 V and 5 V Compatible – Onboard voltage regulator and level shifting
- Four Mounting Holes – For secure attachment to your project
Ideal For
- Precision orientation fusion (AHRS) with minimal drift
- Robotics navigation and attitude control
- Activity tracking and gesture recognition
- DIY drone and vehicle stabilisation
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL 9-DoF IMU Breakout (STEMMA QT, assembled and tested)
- 1× Strip of header pins
