Grove - 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope
The Grove - 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope is a cost-effective Grove sensor integrated with a 3-axis digital accelerometer and a 3-axis digital gyroscope.
Overview
It has a low power consumption digital chip LSM6DS3 and power supply regulator which features high sensitivity and low noise interference. It can be configured to different levels of sensitivity to acceleration and can use different ranges of angular rate measurement. It is provided with a detailed SDK, which makes the prototyping process quick and easy.
This product is good for applications where tilt, motion, and tap sensing is needed.
Features:
- Grove interfaced and cost-effective.
- Digital-output for 6 DOF motion data.
- ±2/±4/±8/±16 g full scale leaner acceleration sensing range for various environment.
- ±125, ±245, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 degree per seconds(dps) for angular rate measurement range makes it versatile.
- A Detailed SDK for easy programming.
- Regulated power supply for reliable data to be collected.
- Programmed interrupts for different event.

Save the date on May 28th-30th, Arduino will be back at SPS Italia in Parma, showcasing how our open-source solutions are revolutionizing the industrial sector with high performance and accessibility. At Arduino’s booth #C020, hall 7, we’ll be presenting the latest additions to our ecosystem, designed to help companies of all sizes embrace digital transformation and the Industrial IoT. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store: Opta: the “Swiss Army knife” of industrial automation Opta is our versatile micro PLC: reliable, secure, and open-source, it avoids vendor lock-in and is the ideal choice for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. Opta can be programmed with standard IEC 61131-3 languages or within Arduino’s environment, offering unmatched flexibility. “With Opta, we aim to support companies looking for increased visibility into their processes through IoT retrofitting, breaking down barriers to industrial automation, and those that produce machinery, seeking a ready-to-use controller for IoT and edge AI. Opta offers high performance, secure connectivity, and unprecedented programming flexibility at an affordable price,” says Arduino’s CEO Fabio Violante. Opta Expansion Modules to boost your projects New expansion modules allow you to enhance Opta’s capabilities: the Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608E, Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S, and Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602 provide additional programmable inputs, relay outputs, and analog I/O options for diverse data acquisition and control needs. Live demos for a hands-on experience Explore live demonstrations of Opta and other key products from our Portenta and Nicla families. Discover how these solutions can be applied to industrial automation, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and more! A strategic partnership with Melchioni Electronics We’re excited to collaborate with Melchioni Electronics, enhancing our reach and support for Arduino’s innovative solutions.
