SparkFun Photon IMU Shield

This is the SparkFun Photon IMU Shield a versatile motion-sensing add-on board for your Photon device. Each IMU shield is equipped with an on-board LSM9DS1 system-in-a-chip that houses a 3-axis accelerometer 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis magnetometer. That's right 9 degrees of freedom (9DOF) from a single IC!Each sensor in the LSM9DS1 from STMicroelectronics supports a large variety of ranges: the accelerometer’s scale can be set to ± 2 4 6 8 or 16 g the gyroscope supports ± 245 500 and 2000 °/s and the magnetometer has full-scale ranges of ± 2 4 8 or 12 gauss. The SparkFun Photon IMU Shield comes with the headers already soldered on so you can plug and play!The Particle Photon is a tiny WiFi development kit for creating connected projects and products. Sporting a 120Mhz ARM Cortex M3 and built-in WiFi the Photon is not only powerful but easy to use. The small form factor is ideal for IoT projects with cloud-connectivity.Note: Not only can this shield operate with the Photon it can also be used with the Particle Core! We understand that there are a ton of you out there who still haven't been able to get your hands on a Photon yet and would like to start playing with this shield now. If that person is you we hope we have obliged!
