9DoF IMU Breakout - ISM330DHCX, MMC5983MA (Qwiic) SparkFun

The SparkFun SEN-19895 9DoF IMU Breakout integrates ISM330DHCX 3D digital accelerometer and gyroscope from STMicroelectronics with the highly sensitive MMC5983MA triple-axis magnetometer by MEMSIC. With a full scale acceleration range of +-2/4/8/16g and a wide angular rate range of +-125/250/500/1000/2000/4000dps, as well as an unmatched set of embedded features (Machine Learning Core, programmable FSM, FIFO, sensor hub, event decoding and interrupts), the ISM330DHCX delivers high performance at very low power.
