Arduino_LSM6DSOX

Sensors

Allows you to read the accelerometer and gyroscope values from the LSM6DSOX IMU on your Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect.

Compatibility

This library is compatible with all architectures so you should be able to use it on all the Arduino boards.

Releases

To use this library, open the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE and install it from there.

Usage

The ArduinoLSM6DSOX library allows you to use the inertial measurement unit (IMU) available on the Arduino® Nano RP2040 Connect board. The IMU is a LSM6DSOX, it is a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope. The IMU is connected to the Nano RP2040 Connect board’s microcontroller through I2C. The values returned are signed floats.

To use this library:

#include <Arduino_LSM6DSOX.h>

The ArduinoLSM6DSOX library takes care of the sensor initialization and sets its values as follows:

  • Accelerometer range is set at ±4 g with a resolution of 0.122 mg.
  • Gyroscope range is set at ±2000 dps with a resolution of 70 mdps.
  • Accelerometer and gyrospcope output data rate is fixed at 104 Hz.
