Similarly, most gyros can measure in the range of 250 degree/s... ## Pricing - **Price:** $25.80 (inc GST) — $23.45 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $22.75 (exc GST) · 50+ $22.28 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4464:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4464:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Most accelerometers have a similar range of measurements that they can make: often around 2G - 16G. Similarly, most gyros can measure in the range of 250 degree/s to 2000 degrees/s. That's enough for many situations, however, there are many situations where it's not quite enough. When measuring things like a golf swing, soccer ball kick or perhaps a fancy racing car, you need a bit more performance out of your motion sensor. The ICM20649 from InvenSense is a Wide-Range 6-DoF accelerometer and Gyro, capable of measuring **up to ±30g and ±4000 dps**! That's an impressive increase from the norm, about twice the range. If you've found yourself limited by the standard ranges available, or if you just want to make sure the measurement range of your IMU is never an issue, pick up one of Adafruit's handy ICM20649 breakouts. Each of Adafruit's breakouts starts with the sensor of interest, and in this case, Adafruit begin with a hot-off-the-reel ICM20649 Wide-Range IMU. These chips are only a few mm across and have 0.4mm pitch contacts. To make it easier for folks to work with this chip, Adafruit have taken the sensor and mounted it on a breadboard-compatible breakout board. Along with the sensor, the breakout board includes a voltage regulator and level shifting circuitry to allow you to use it with a range of devices nearly as large as its measurement ranges. Works great with the **3.3V logic level of a Feather or Raspberry Pi, or the 5v level of a Metro 328 or Arduino Uno**, this breakout is ready to work with most common microcontrollers or SBCs. and since it speaks I2C, you can easily connect it up with two data wires plus power and ground. As if that weren't enough, Adafruit have also added[ SparkFun qwiic](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=qwiic) compatible **[STEMMA QT](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt)** connectors for the I2C bus **so you don't even need to solder.** Just wire up to your favorite micro with a plug-and-play cable to get 6-DoF data ASAP.
