SparkFun Micro 6DoF IMU Breakout - LSM6DSV16X (Qwiic)

The SparkFun LSM6DSV16X Micro 6DoF IMU Breakout is an advanced and precise motion detection tool that utilizes AI. This Qwiic-enabled device from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance, low-power 6-axis IMU, equipped with a 3-axis digital accelerometer and a 3-axis digital gyroscope. It features a triple core for processing acceleration and angular rate data on three separate channels with dedicated configuration, processing, and filtering. At just 7.62mm x 19.05mm, it is designed to fit into your smallest projects.

The LSM6DSV16X's triple core enables processes in edge computing. It comes with embedded advanced dedicated features such as a finite state machine (FSM) for configurable motion tracking and a machine learning core (MLC) for contextual awareness. These features can be exported for IoT applications, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of projects.

The LSM6DSV16X also includes an embedded Qvar for user interface functions. This electric charge variation detection feature allows for intuitive interactions such as tap, double tap, triple tap, long press, or L/R – R/L swipe, making it user-friendly and easy to control.

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This design reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.

The LSM6DSV16X is not just a motion detection tool but also a powerful device for a range of applications. It's perfect for projects that require high accuracy and low power consumption. It's also Android compliant and comes with a smart FIFO up to 4.5KB, making it ideal for mobile applications. With its advanced pedometer, step detector, and step counter, it can be used for fitness tracking devices. It also includes significant motion detection and tilt detection, making it suitable for gaming and virtual reality applications.

With its embedded temperature sensor, the LSM6DSV16X can also be used in environmental monitoring applications. The LSM6DSV16X also includes an embedded analog hub for ADC and processing analog input data, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of projects.

Power consumption is a mere 0.65mA in combo high-performance mode, making it an energy-efficient choice for your projects. The LSM6DSV16X also includes a Qwiic Connector, making it easy to integrate with your existing Qwiic ecosystem.
