Adafruit LSM6DS33 6-DoF Accel + Gyro IMU
Discontinued
The Adafruit LSM6DS33 is an affordable 6 Degree of Freedom (6-DoF) inertial measurement unit combining a triple-axis accelerometer and triple-axis gyroscope. The accelerometer measures gravity and linear acceleration, while the gyroscope detects spin and rotation — together providing comprehensive motion and orientation data.
This compact STEMMA QT breakout includes voltage regulation and level shifting for use with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems. Connect via solderless STEMMA QT/Qwiic cables over I2C, or use the SPI interface and standard header pins. A solder jumper on the back lets you change the I2C address to run two sensors on the same bus.
