Some Arduino boards come with an embedded Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in them. To easily access read data from the IMU, you can use a library.
Find an IMU library for a board made by Arduino
| Library | Boards |
|---|---|
| Arduino_LSM9DS1 | Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense |
| Arduino_LSM6DS3 | Arduino Nano 33 IoT Arduino Uno WiFi Rev2 |
| Arduino_LSM6DSOX | Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect Arduino Nicla Vision |
| MKRIMU | Arduino MKR IMU Shield |
Find an IMU library for other boards
Here are some tips to find an IMU library for a non-Arduino board:
- Check the technical specifications for the board and determine the name of the IMU sensor. Use a search engine to look for compatible libraries.
- Go to search.arduino.cc and search for “imu” or a specific name in the Documentation tab.
- Contact your reseller or the board manufacturer.
