It combines the LSM6DSOX accelerometer/gyroscope — known for its exceptionally low gyro drift and noise — with the LIS3MDL magnetometer for complete orientation and heading sensing.\n\nThe LSM6DSOX offers significantly better performance than older sensors like the MPU6050 or LSM6DS33, making it excellent for orientation fusion applications. It also includes built-in tap detection, activity detection, a pedometer, and a programmable finite state machine with machine learning core. Both sensors communicate over the shared I2C bus, with interrupt pins and address-selection jumpers broken out for advanced configurations.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nTriple-Axis Accelerometer – ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g at 1.6 Hz to 6.7 kHz (LSM6DSOX)\n\nTriple-Axis Gyroscope – ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000 dps at 12.5 Hz to 6.7 kHz, with very low zero-rate drift\n\nTriple-Axis Magnetometer – Magnetic north detection for compass heading (LIS3MDL)\n\nBuilt-in Intelligence – Tap detection, activity detection, pedometer, and ML core for gesture recognition\n\nSTEMMA QT Connector – Daisy-chain additional I2C sensors without soldering\n\nFeatherWing Form Factor – Stacks onto any Feather board via shared I2C bus\n\nAddress Jumpers – Configurable I2C addresses to avoid conflicts or use multiple boards\n\nArduino & CircuitPython Libraries – Full driver support with example code\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nPrecision orientation fusion (AHRS) with minimal drift\nRobotics navigation and attitude control\nActivity tracking and gesture recognition\nAdding 9-DoF motion sensing to any Feather project\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL 9-DoF FeatherWing (assembled and tested)\n1× Strip of 0.1\" header pins\n\n\nResources\n\nMotion Sensor Fusion Guide (AHRS Orientation)\nLSM6DSOX Gyroscope Comparison\nAdafruit LSM6DS Arduino Library (GitHub)\nAdafruit LIS3MDL Arduino Library (GitHub)\nST LSM6DSOX Advanced Library (GitHub)\nST LIS3MDL Advanced Library (GitHub)\nWhat is STEMMA QT?\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":4130,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-4565","price":40.31,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":42,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
