Datasheet

Begin!

To initialize the sensor, call lsm.begin() which will check the sensor can be found. It returns true/false depending on

these checks. We suggest you wrap begin() in a statement that will check if the sensor was located:

Set Ranges

These chips have tons of registers, we basically provide interface code for the most useful stuff, such as setting the

range. Each subsensor has it's own range. Higher ranges have less precision but can measure larger movements!

Set up the ranges with the setup functions:

Choose whichever range you like, after you begin() the sensor!

Read data

Read data using the Adafruit_Sensor API by first creating four events, one for each sub-sensor:

Then pass these into the getEvent function

The data is snapshotted at once, so you can read and manage the data later.

Adafruit_LSM9DS1 lsm = Adafruit_LSM9DS1(LSM9DS1_SCK, LSM9DS1_MISO, LSM9DS1_MOSI, LSM9DS1_XGCS, LSM9DS1_MCS);

if(!lsm.begin())

{

/* There was a problem detecting the LSM9DS1 ... check your connections */

Serial.print(F("Ooops, no LSM9DS1 detected ... Check your wiring!"));

while(1);

}

// 1.) Set the accelerometer range

lsm.setupAccel(lsm.LSM9DS1_ACCELRANGE_2G);

//lsm.setupAccel(lsm.LSM9DS1_ACCELRANGE_4G);

//lsm.setupAccel(lsm.LSM9DS1_ACCELRANGE_8G);

//lsm.setupAccel(lsm.LSM9DS1_ACCELRANGE_16G);

// 2.) Set the magnetometer sensitivity

lsm.setupMag(lsm.LSM9DS1_MAGGAIN_4GAUSS);

//lsm.setupMag(lsm.LSM9DS1_MAGGAIN_8GAUSS);

//lsm.setupMag(lsm.LSM9DS1_MAGGAIN_12GAUSS);

//lsm.setupMag(lsm.LSM9DS1_MAGGAIN_16GAUSS);

// 3.) Setup the gyroscope

lsm.setupGyro(lsm.LSM9DS1_GYROSCALE_245DPS);

//lsm.setupGyro(lsm.LSM9DS1_GYROSCALE_500DPS);

//lsm.setupGyro(lsm.LSM9DS1_GYROSCALE_2000DPS);

sensors_event_t accel, mag, gyro, temp;

lsm.getEvent(&accel, &mag, &gyro, &temp);
