Adafruit LSM9DS0 9-DoF IMU Sensor Chip

Add motion, direction, and orientation sensing to your electronic project with this all-in-one 9-DOF sensor. It integrates three sensors: a 3-axis accelerometer for measuring gravity and acceleration, a 3-axis magnetometer for detecting magnetic forces like North, and a 3-axis gyroscope for spin and twist assessment.

The sensor features both I2C and SPI interfaces, making it versatile for varied project needs. It is sold as an individual chip with no support circuitry, demanding skillful soldering onto a PCB, which can be challenging. However, an Arduino library available for support simplifies integration upon successful assembly.

Despite being discontinued, this chip is ideal for prototyping or limited production runs, addressing chip shortages. Benefit from previous PCB designs, although not manufactured currently, as a reference to guide your project development.
