About this item

The PIMORONI LSM303D 6DoF Motion Sensor Breakout is a versatile and compact sensor module designed to provide accurate motion sensing with minimal external components. At its core, it features the LSM303D chip, an integrated device combining a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis magnetometer, enabling six degrees of freedom (6DoF) motion detection. This integration simplifies the design by combining accelerometer and magnetometer functions in a single chip, reducing the need for multiple sensors and complex circuitry.The sensor breakout supports both 3.3V and 5V power levels, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and single-board computers, including the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms. It communicates with the host processor via the I2C interface, requiring only two communication lines, which saves valuable GPIO pins and reduces wiring complexity.The LSM303D features onboard A/D converters and signal conditioning circuits, ensuring precise and clean sensor data output. Its ability to detect acceleration and magnetic field data makes it ideal for applications such as orientation detection, navigation, tilt sensing, and electronic compasses.Thanks to its compact size, ease of integration, and robust features, the PIMORONI LSM303D 6DoF Breakout is perfect for robotics, drones, wearable devices, and other projects requiring reliable motion sensing.
