LSM6DSO 6DOF Gyroscope Module

The LSM6DSO IC is a compact, integrated system featuring a 3-DOF digital accelerometer and a 3-DOF digital gyroscope. The LSM6DSO 6DOF module offers the best motion sensing capabilities, allowing it to detect orientation and movement. This enables developers and consumers to access advanced features and capabilities, transitioning navigation from simple to both horizontal and vertical modes.

The LSM6DSO 6DOF gyroscope and accelerometer module can be used in various applications such as motion detection, activity or inactivity detection, 6-axis navigation, slow-motion detection, and wake-up alarms. The LSM6DSO gyroscope and accelerometer module easily interfaces with different hardware and sensors, and is compatible with both real and virtual operating modes.

The LSM6DSO IC is capable of detecting changes in acceleration, such as detecting falls from height, click and double-click recognition, and it supports full-scale operation. It also has up to 9KB FIFO data storage capacity for data transmission.
