Express post delivery (2-5 business days)

The SparkFun 9DoF IMU Breakout brings InvenSense's ICM-20948 9-axis motion tracking sensor to a Qwiic-enabled breakout board with an on-board logic level shifter and broken-out GPIO pins. The ICM-20948 is an extremely low-power sensor supporting both I2C and SPI communication, suited for wearable devices, robotics, drones, and IoT applications.

The board features a built-in Digital Motion Processor (DMP) that offloads motion sensing computation from the host microcontroller, allowing optimal sensor performance. All ICM-20948 pins are broken out to GPIO headers, labelled with I2C on the front and SPI on the back for easy identification. A Qwiic connector enables solderless I2C hookup, while 2.54 mm header pins support breadboard use.

Key Features

  • 3-Axis Gyroscope – Four selectable full-scale ranges (±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 °/s)
  • 3-Axis Accelerometer – Four selectable full-scale ranges (±2, ±4, ±8, ±16 g)
  • 3-Axis Magnetometer – Full-scale range of ±4900 µT
  • Digital Motion Processor – On-chip DMP offloads motion algorithm computation
  • Dual Interface – I2C (via Qwiic connector or headers) and SPI
  • Logic Level Shifting – On-board shifter for 3.3 V and 5 V compatibility
  • Qwiic Connector – Solderless I2C connection with polarised 4-pin JST connector
  • Breakout Pins – All sensor pins broken out to 2.54 mm-spaced headers

Ideal For

  • Inertial navigation and motion tracking
  • Drone and robotics orientation sensing
  • Wearable motion capture projects
  • IoT applications requiring 9-axis sensing
