Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout Created by Kevin Townsend Last updated on 2020-01-17 04:10:47 PM UTCIntroduction Please note that there is a small cosmetic error on the first revision of these boards (shown above). The straight X arrow for the accelerometer should be pointing in the opposite direction, towards the right. This will be fixed in the next run of these boards. Adafruit s 10DOF (10 Degrees of Freedom) breakout board allows you to capture ten (err, eleven ) distinct types of motion or orientation related data. After testing a lot of combinations of sensors, we settled on the following devices that we think offer the best results and the least amount of hassle: LSM303DLHC - a 3-axis accelerometer (up to +/-16g) and a 3-axis magnetometer (up to +/-8.1 gauss) on a single die L3GD20 - a 3-axis gyroscope (up to +/-2000 dps) BMP180 - A barometric pressure sensor (300..1100 hPa) that can be used to calculate altitude, with an additional on-board temperature sensor Related Links The Adafruit 10DOF board and library reuses the existing Adafruit drivers for the LSM303DLHC (accelerometer and magnetometer), the L3GD20 (gyroscope) and the BMP180 (pressure/altitude sensor). For information about these particular drivers, consult the following learning guides: LSM303DLHC Learning Guide (
