A Qwiic-compatible breakout board for the STMicroelectronics ISM330DHCX — a high-performance 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope designed for industrial applications. The 1" × 1" board communicates over I2C via the Qwiic connector system, with 0.1"-spaced pins also broken out for soldered connections.

With a full-scale acceleration range of ±2/±4/±8/±16 g and gyroscope range up to ±4000 dps, this IMU is suited for stabilisation, robotics, navigation, and vibration monitoring. It includes advanced embedded features such as a Machine Learning Core, programmable Finite State Machine, 9 KB FIFO, and a sensor hub for connecting external sensors.
