KAmodLSM303C – module with triaxial accelerometer and magnetometer

Description

KAmodLSM303C is a module with the MEMS LSM303C chip from STMicroelectronics. The chip has a digital signal output (I2C or SPI bus) and allows measurement of accelerations and magnetic field values in three axes. Thanks to the programmable interrupt generator outputs, it is possible to wake up the microcontroller after detecting free fall or object movement. The board is equipped with a Pmod I2C standard connector and a KAMAMI connector, allowing easy attachment of the module to development kits. Due to its small dimensions, the product can be used in many development projects, while the Pmod through connector allows the boards to be connected in series.
