SparkFun 6DoF IMU Breakout - ISM330DHCX (Qwiic)

The SparkFun Qwiic ISM330DHCX Six Degrees of Freedom IMU is a compact, high-performance 3D digital accelerometer and 3D digital gyroscope. Measuring just 2.54cm by 2.54cm, this breakout board is engineered with STMicroelectronics' ISM330DHCX, making it ideal for Industry 4.0 applications. It is perfectly suited for platform, optical image, lens stabilization, robotics and industrial automation, navigations systems, and vibration monitoring and compensation. With the Qwiic Connect System, this 6DoF IMU communicates over I²C by default, eliminating the need for soldering. For those who prefer a soldered connection, the I²C signals are also routed out to a set of 2.54mm-spaced pins.

The 6DoF IMU Breakout has a full-scale acceleration range of ±2/±4/±8/±16g and a wide angular rate range of ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000/±4000 dps, making it versatile for a wide range of applications. It is equipped with an unmatched set of embedded features such as Machine Learning Core, programmable Finite State Machine (FSM), FIFO, sensor hub, event decoding and interrupts. These features facilitate the implementation of smart and complex sensor nodes, delivering high performance at very low power.

The SparkFun Qwiic connect system is a cohesive ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that streamline prototyping and reduce errors. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector, saving PCB space and eliminating the risk of incorrect connections thanks to polarized connections.

The SparkFun Qwiic ISM330DHCX 6DoF IMU is packed with features, including a supply voltage of 1.71V to 3.6V, a 3D accelerometer, a 3D gyroscope, a temperature range of -40 to +105°C, and embedded compensation for high stability over temperature. It also offers an auxiliary SPI serial interface for data output of gyroscope and accelerometer, six-channel synchronized output, and a sensor hub feature to collect data from additional external sensors. Other features include an embedded smart FIFO up to 9kB, a programmable Finite State Machine, a Machine Learning Core, and smart embedded functions and interrupts such as tilt detection, free-fall, wakeup, 6D/4D orientation, click and double-click. It also includes an embedded pedometer, step detector and counter, an embedded temperature sensor, and 2x Qwiic Connection Ports.
