The MinIMU-9 v5 is a compact inertial measurement unit (IMU) that provides 9 degrees of freedom (9DOF) for all of your sensor tracking needs! An I2C interface connects a 3-axis gyro, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis magnetometer on a tiny 0.8″ x 0.5″ breakout board. It is equipped with a voltage regulator and level shifting circuit to allow operation from 2.5V to 5.5V so it can be interfaced with almost any popular microcontroller.

Features:

• Voltage Regulator and Level shifting circuit
• 3-axis gyro, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis magnetometer
• Pin compatible with MinIMU v3 and AltIMU-10 v5
• dynamically selectable sensitivities for all sensors

Specifications:

•    Dimensions: 0.8″ × 0.5″ × 0.1″ (20 mm × 13 mm × 3 mm)
•    Weight without header pins: 0.7 g (0.02 oz)
•    Operating voltage: 2.5 V to 5.5 V
•    Supply current: 5 mA
•    Output format (I²C):
  •    Gyro: one 16-bit reading per axis
  •    Accelerometer: one 16-bit reading per axis
  •    Magnetometer: one 16-bit reading per axis
•    Sensitivity range:
  •    Gyro: ±125, ±245, ±500, ±1000, or ±2000°/s
  •    Accelerometer: ±2, ±4, ±8, or ±16 g
  •    Magnetometer: ±4, ±8, ±12, or ±16 gaus

Included Components

A 1×6 strip of 0.1″ header pins and a 1×5 strip of 0.1″ right-angle header pins are included, as shown in the picture below. You can solder the header strip of your choice to the board for use with custom cables or solderless breadboards or solder wires directly to the board itself for more compact installations. The board features two mounting holes that work with #2 or M2 screws (not included).
