Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout - L3GD20H + LSM303 + BMP180

Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout - L3GD20H + LSM303 + BMP180 info

Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout - L3GD20H + LSM303 + BMP180 is an inertial measurement unit which combines 3 of the best quality sensors on the market which gives you 11 axes of data: 3 axes of accelerometer data, 3 axes gyroscopic, 3 axes magnetic (compass), barometric pressure/altitude and temperature. The sensor combination used in this breakout is found to be the best valued combination with stable and reliable readings.

The L3DG20H gyroscope + LSM303DLHC accelerometer compass + BMP180 barometric/temperature sensors are all on one breakout here, to save you space and money. Since all of them use I2C, you can communicate with all of them using only two wires. This interfacing can be enough for most of the users, but there are more cool features of this board. The board also has “data ready” and “interrupt” pins so users can use these pins for a more advanced interfacing with the board. A 3V regulator with reverse-polarity protection means you don't have to worry about frying the boards by accident. There's level shifting circuitry so the IMU can be used with 3 or 5V logic boards. The breakout board has mounting holes so you can securely place the sensors on anything you like, from rocket to robot.

Since this is a combination of 3 different breakouts, we suggest visiting those pages for much more information: L3GD20H, LSM303, BMP180 but here are some quick stats:

• L3GD20H 3-axis gyroscope: ±250, ±500, or ±2000 degree-per-second scale
• LSM303 3-axis compass: ±1.3 to ±8.1 gauss magnetic field scale
• LSM303 3-axis accelerometer: ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g selectable scale
• BMP180 barometric pressure/temperature: -40 to 85 °C, 300 - 1100hPa range, 0.17m resolution

Note: Each order comes with one assembled and tested 10DOF breakout board and a small piece of header.
