The 3-axis accelerometer can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity) or how fast the board is accelerating in 3D space. The 3-axis gyroscope can measure spin and twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chip is very similar to the now-discontinued \u003cstrong\u003eLSM6DS33\u003c\/strong\u003e, a great entry-level IMU. As part of the illustrious LSM6DS family, its well-established, well-supported and this chip even has better performance! Note it is not firmware-compatible with the 'DS33, so you will need to recompile code (e.g Adafruits Arduino and Python libraries support the whole family but you do have to indicate which exact chip you're using)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make getting started fast and easy, Adafruit placed the sensors on a compact breakout board with voltage regulation and level-shifted inputs. That way you can use them with 3V or 5V power\/logic devices without worry. Both I2C and SPI interfaces are available, so you'll be able to use them with any hardware setup. The breakout comes fully assembled and tested, with some extra header so you can use it on a breadboard. Four mounting holes make for a secure connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis breakout does not include a magnetometer, often required for accurate orientation. \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-triple-axis-magnetometer-lis3mdl-stemma-qt-qwiic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWe recommend the LIS3MDL 3-axis magnetometer to match up with this IMU.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!).
