Esp32 Thing Motion Shield - Sparkfun USA

SparkFun ESP32 Thing Motion Shield is a versatile, motion-sensing addition to the ESP32 Thing. With the Motion Shield’s onboard LSM9DS1 IMU, small movement changes can easily be detected, while larger movements and time traveled can be detected with the addition of a GPS module via a large JST port. In addition, there is a breakout pins to attach any serial device, as well as a microSD card slot to log all of the data.

The LSM9DS1 is one of only a handful of ICs that can measure three key properties of movementangular velocity, acceleration and heading in a single IC. The LSM9DS1 measures each of these movement properties in three dimensions. That means it produces nine pieces of data: acceleration in x/y/z, angular rotation in x/y/z and magnetic force in x/y/z. Each sensor in the LSM9DS1 onboard the Thing Motion Shield supports a wide spectrum of ranges: the accelerometer’s scale can be set to ± 2, 4, 8 or 16 g; the gyroscope supports ± 245, 500 and 2000 °/s; and the magnetometer has full-scale ranges of ± 4, 8, 12 or 16 gauss.
