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/ADA4480:1.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 Add motion and orientation sensing to your Arduino project with this affordable 6 Degree of Freedom (6-DoF) sensor with sensors from ST. The board includes an **LSM6DS33**, a 6-DoF IMU accelerometer + gyro. 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 that can measure spin and twist. This chip isn't the newest motion sensor, but it is well-established and comes at a great price. To 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 it 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. This breakout does not include a magnetometer, often required for accurate orientation. [Adafruit recommend the **LIS3MDL** 3-axis magnetometer to match up with this IMU](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-triple-axis-magnetometer-lis3mdl-stemma-qt-qwiic.html). [Adafruit even have a version that contains both!](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-lsm6ds33-lis3mdl-9-dof-imu-with-accel-gyro-mag-stemma-qt-qwiic.html) 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. You can change the I2C address on the back using the solder jumper, to have two of these sensor boards on one bus. They also wrote libraries to help you get these sensors integrated with your Arduino/C++. [This library contains an Arduino driver for the accel/gyro](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LSM6DS). For advanced Arduino usage, [ST has their own fully-featured library that includes extras such as FIFO management and tap detection](https://github.com/stm32duino/LSM6DS3) for the LSM6DS3. ### Technical Details **LSM6DS33 Specifications:** - ±2/±4/±8/±16 g full scale - ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000 dps full scale - I2C or SPI hardware interface - Up to 1.6 KHz ODR - Tap and double-tap detection - Free-fall detection - I2C Address 0x6A or 0x6B ![RoHS 2 2011 65 EU Compliant](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2011_65_EU_7356c5574c.svg)![RoHS 2 2015 863 EU Compliant](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2015_863_EU_86773f57f9.svg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/a/d/ada4480-1.jpg)
