This ICM20948 motion sensor is the bee's knees! Detect movement in nine different ranges of motion: 3-axis acceleration, 3-axis gyroscopic motion, and 3-axis compass heading.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $31.10 (inc GST) — $28.27 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $27.15 (exc GST) · 25+ $26.29 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 8 today, and up to 200 more in 7–12 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE06459:1` (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/CE06459:1.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)

## Description

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](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-garden-hat.html) (and [pHAT](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-breakout-garden-phat.html)), where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.

### Features

- ICM20948 9DoF motion sensor ([datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/DS-000189-ICM-20948-v1_1142047c5a8.pdf))
- ±2/±4/±8/±16 g 3-axis accelerometer
- ±250/±500/±1000/±2000 DPS (degrees per second) 3-axis gyroscope
- 3-axis compass with wide range up to ±4900 μT
- 16-bit data output
- I2C interface (address 0x68/0x69 (cut trace))
- 3.3V or 5V compatible
- Reverse polarity protection
- Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi, and Arduino
- [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/icm20948-python)
- Dimensions: 19x19x2.75mm

### Kit includes

- ICM20948 9DoF breakout
- 1x5 male header
- 1x5 female right-angle header

Pimoroni has designed this breakout board so that you can solder on the piece of right angle female header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9).

### Software

Pimoroni has put together a [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/icm20948-python) 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.*
