AltIMU-10 v5 Inertial Unit
Overview
The Pololu 2862 is a compact 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that combines an LSM6DS33 gyroscope and accelerometer with an LIS3MDL magnetometer. It provides nine independent rotation, acceleration, and magnetic intensity readings through a single I2C interface, making it ideal for orientation sensing and motion tracking.
Why Choose This Part
This module features an integrated voltage regulator and level shifters, allowing it to operate across a wide 2.5V to 5.5V range without external circuitry. Its small footprint and standard 0.1-inch pin spacing make it easy to integrate into space-constrained prototypes or breadboard layouts.
Applications
Getting Started
Connect the module to your microcontroller via the I2C bus using the SDA and SCL pins. Pololu provides comprehensive Arduino libraries for the LSM6DS33 and LIS3MDL sensors to help you calibrate the magnetometer and calculate orientation from raw data.
