Use this sensor in your DIY robot or drone builds to measure three different types of motion in three different axes accurately with 16-bit resolution. It's really low-power too, so it's ideal for embedding in battery-powered projects, and it's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible.

It's compatible with our fancy Breakout Garden HAT (and pHAT), where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.

Software

Pimoroni has put together a Python library that you can use to read data from your ICM20948 9DoF Breakout, and an easy one-line installer to install everything.

Pimoroni's software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.
