9-Axis IMU TinyShield

DESCRIPTION This TinyShield lets you measure 9 degrees of freedom (9DOF) with your TinyDuino and features the ST LSM9DS1 - a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor, a 3D digital angular rate sensor, and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. The LSM9DS1 has a linear acceleration full scale of ±2g/±4g/±8/±16 g, a magnetic field full scale of ±4/±8/±12/±16 gauss and an angular rate of ±245/±500/±2000 dps. The 9 Axis TinyShield incorporates level shifters and a local power supply to ensure proper and safe operation over the entire TinyDuino operating voltage range up to 5V.

If you connect this up the way it is marked you will not damage the board.  DOWNLOADS ST LSM9DS1 product page Datasheet Schematic Eagle Files Sample Arduino code Arduino Library Download CAD 3D and 2D Files LEARN
