## 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

- 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)

### 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.*
