M5Stack 6-Axis IMU Unit MPU6886

The 6-Axis IMU Unit from M5Stack measures acceleration and rotation rate in three axes each with the MPU6886 from TDK InvenSense. Tilt and motion can be calculated from this. The chip has a 16-bit converter, a programmable digital filter, a temperature sensor and a low-power mode. The unit connects via I2C to Port A.

Recommended Accessories:

Features:

3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope in one chip
Temperature sensor in the chip, 1 kB FIFO
I2C address 0x68
Connects to Port A, which the Basic Core has itself
Programmable with UIFlow, MicroPython and Arduino
2 mounting holes for snap pins or screws

Application Examples:

Measuring tilt and orientation, for example for a spirit level or balancing robot
Detecting motion and vibration
Gesture control with M5Stack Cores
