Sense.I.6P6
Productionextended-range 6-DOF IMU
The Sense.I.6P6 is a precision 6-DOF inertial measurement unit based on the extended-range TDK Invensense ICM-42686P. The 16-bit accelerometer full-scale range can be set to +/- 2g, 4g, 8g, 16g, or 32g with an output data rate of up between 1.5Hz and 32kHz, while the 16-bit gyro range can be set to +/- 15.6, 31.5, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, or 4000 degrees per second with an output data rate of 12.5Hz and 32kHz. The sensor includes a user-programmable filters, on-board motion functions (pedometer, tilt, tap, raise, etc.), and a 2kB FIFO.
