## Overview

The SparkFun 9DoF IMU Breakout - ICM-20948 is a compact, low-power 9-axis motion sensor featuring a triple-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer with programmable ranges. It includes an onboard digital motion processor for efficient data handling and supports both I2C and SPI communication protocols. Designed for rapid prototyping, it offers dual Qwiic connectors for solderless integration and breakout GPIO pins for flexible hardware interfacing, making it ideal for wearable tech, smartphones, and IoT applications.

## Description

The SparkFun 9DoF IMU Breakout incorporates all the amazing features of Invensense's ICM-20948 into a Qwiic-enabled breakout board complete with a logic shifter and broken out GPIO pins for all your motion sensing needs. The ICM-20948 itself is an extremely low powered, I2C and SPI enabled 9-axis motion tracking device that is ideally suited for smartphones, tablets, wearable sensors, and IoT applications. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.In addition to the 3-Axis Gyroscope with four selectable ranges, 3-Axis Accelerometer, again with four selectable ranges, and 3-axis magnetometer with an FSR to ±4900µT, the ICM-20948 also includes a Digital Motion Processor that offloads the computation of motion sensing algorithms from the detectors, allowing optimal performance of the sensors. We've also broken out all the ICM-20948 pin functionality to GPIO and labeled them I2C on the front, SPI on the back for ease of identification.The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.I2C at up to 100 kHz (standard-mode) or up to 400 kHz (fast-mode) or SPI at up to 7 MHz for communication with registersI2C Address: 0x69 (0x68 with Jumper)

Review: If you plan on using this with SPI, you will not be able to access the magnetometer. You can only access the magnetometer by using the auxiliary I2C. I've gotten this working on a PIC32 with SPI, and it performs okay, however, I am missing mag data because it can not operate in both SPI and I2C at the same time.
Review: The core chip requires 1.8V and must be level shifted to interface with 3.3V signals. The level shifters used here do not shift the voltages correctly and thus interferes with other I2C devices. It should be clearly stated this device is singular/standalone and not compatible with other devices on the same I2C bus. Sparkfun infers I2C bus incompatibility by mentioning "level shifters" in the title, but you would not normally know this until after you troubleshoot I2C bus hangs and discover the level shifters used do a poor job. I abandoned using this device.
