Description
ICM20948 Gyroscope Accelerometer Compass Sensor Module
The ICM20948 9DOF IMU Module is a compact motion-tracking solution that integrates a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer into a single chip. It provides precise motion, orientation, and heading data, making it suitable for advanced sensing applications such as robotics, drones, wearables, and navigation systems. The module supports both I²C and SPI interfaces for flexible integration with microcontrollers.
