Product information "SparkFun ESP32 Thing Motion Shield"

The SparkFun ESP32 Thing Motion Shield is a versatile, motion-sensing addition to our ESP32 Thing. With the Motion Shield's built-in LSM9DS1 IMU, small changes in motion can be easily detected, while larger movements and times travelled can be detected with the addition of a GPS module via a large JST connector. In addition, we have added breakout pins for connecting any serial device and a microSD card slot for recording all data. All you need to do is solder on headers and your ESP32 Thing Motion Shield will be ready to detect any kind of motion!

The LSM9DS1 is one of only a handful of ICs that can measure three key properties of motion - angular velocity, acceleration and direction - in a single IC. By measuring these three properties, a great deal of knowledge can be gained about the movement and orientation of an object. The LSM9DS1 measures each of these motion properties in three dimensions. This means it provides 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 on the Thing Motion Shield supports a wide range 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.

  • 3 acceleration channels, 3 angular rate channels, 3 magnetic field channels
  • ±2/±4/±8/±16 g linear acceleration Final value
