It combines the LSM6DSOX accelerometer/gyroscope — known for exceptionally low gyro drift and noise — with the LIS3MDL magnetometer for complete orientation and heading sensing.\n\nThe LSM6DSOX delivers significantly better performance than older sensors like the MPU6050 or LSM6DS33, making it excellent for orientation fusion applications with less drift and faster responses. It also includes built-in tap detection, activity detection, a pedometer, and a programmable finite state machine with machine learning core for gesture recognition.\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 / Qwiic – Solderless I2C connectors for easy plug-and-play wiring\n\nConfigurable I2C Addresses – Solder jumpers for running multiple boards on one bus\n\n3.3 V and 5 V Compatible – Onboard voltage regulator and level shifting\n\nFour Mounting Holes – For secure attachment to your project\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nPrecision orientation fusion (AHRS) with minimal drift\nRobotics navigation and attitude control\nActivity tracking and gesture recognition\nDIY drone and vehicle stabilisation\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL 9-DoF IMU Breakout (STEMMA QT, assembled and tested)\n1× Strip of header pins\n\n\n\nNote: STEMMA QT cable not included — available separately.\n\n\nResources\n\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":2833,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-4517","price":38.55,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
