Adafruit LSM6DS33 + LIS3MDL - 9 DoF IMU with Accel / Gyro / Mag - STEMMA QT Qwiic
The Adafruit LSM6DS33 + LIS3MDL is a complete 9 Degree of Freedom (9-DoF) inertial measurement unit on a single breakout board. It combines a triple-axis accelerometer and gyroscope (LSM6DS33) with a triple-axis magnetometer (LIS3MDL) — giving you gravity sensing, rotation detection, and magnetic north heading all in one affordable package.
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 solder the included header pins for breadboard use. Solder jumpers on the back allow you to change I2C addresses for running two boards on the same bus.
