This IMU sensor has 6 degrees of freedom... ## Pricing - **Price:** $39.20 (inc GST) — $35.64 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $34.56 (exc GST) · 50+ $33.85 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Sep 04 and Sep 08. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4502:1` (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/ADA4502:1.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 Behold, the ST ISM330DHCX: an *industrial quality* Accelerometer+Gyroscope 6-DOF IMUs (inertial measurement unit) from ST. This IMU sensor has 6 degrees of freedom - 3 degrees each of linear acceleration and angular velocity at varying rates within a respectable range. For the accelerometer: **±2/±4/±8/±16 g** at 1.6 Hz to 6.7KHz update rate. For the gyroscope: **±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000/±4000 dps** at 12.5 Hz to 6.7 KHz. In particular, this is one of the few gyro's Adafruit stock with 4000 dps range, usually they top out at 2000. This sensor has extra calibration and compensation circuits to give it excellent performance in a wide environmental range from -40 to +105°C. Most other IMU sensors don't have industrial temperature ranges, or have wide accuracy variation as the temperature changes. The accelerometer and gyroscope also are on the same silicon die, which will keep the 6 measurements synchronized better than when the two sensors are on separate dies. There are also some nice extras, such as built in tap detection, activity detection, pedometer/step counter and a programmable finite state machine / machine learning core that can perform some basic gesture recognition. For interfacing, you can use either SPI or I2C - there's two configurable interrupt pins. For advanced usage, you can attach additional devices to an external I2C/SPI port - used for optical image stabilization. To make getting started fast and easy, Adafruit placed the sensors on compact breakout boards with voltage regulation and level-shifted inputs. That way you can use them with 3V or 5V power/logic devices without worry. [They also wrote libraries to help you get these sensors integrated with your Arduino/C++ or CircuitPython/Python boards such as Raspberry Pi or other single board computers.](https://learn.adafruit.com/lsm6dsox-and-ism330dhc-6-dof-imu) Additionally since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!). Adafruit have even included [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 like the STM32F405 Feather](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-feather-stm32f405-express.html) with a plug-and-play cable to get 6 DoF data ASAP. ### Technical Details **[Schematics, diagrams, library and code examples, datasheets and more in the learning system guide!](https://learn.adafruit.com/lsm6dsox-and-ism330dhc-6-dof-imu/)** ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/4/5/4502-00.jpg)
