Adafruit 9-DOF LSM9DS1 Breakout Board - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

Add motion, direction, and orientation sensing to your project with this all-in-one 9-DOF sensor that is STEMMA QT ready for easy plug-n-play usage. This compact breakout board integrates three sensors:

• A 3-axis accelerometer to detect direction relative to gravity and acceleration in 3D space.
• A 3-axis magnetometer to sense magnetic north.
• A 3-axis gyroscope for measuring spin and twist.

The breakout includes voltage regulation and level-shifted inputs, enabling use with 3V or 5V logic devices. It supports both SPI and I2C interfaces, with interrupt pins exposed for each chip. The board is fully assembled and tested, with extra header pins for breadboard use and two mounting holes for secure attachment. Compatible with SparkFun Qwiic and Adafruit STEMMA QT connectors (cables not included).

Key Specifications:

• Accelerometer range: ±2/±4/±8/±16 g
• Magnetometer range: ±4/±8/±12/±16 gauss
• Gyroscope range: ±245/±500/±2000 degrees per second (dps)

Additional Information: Board updated December 18, 2023, with a new legible silkscreen using Adafruit Pinguin font; functionality remains identical.
