Description
The LSM9DS1 IMU Sensor block measures linear acceleration, angular rate, and magnetic field along the X, Y, and Z axis using the LSM9DS1 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor interfaced with the Arduino® hardware. This 9-Degree of Freedom (DoF) IMU sensor comprises of an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer used to measure linear acceleration, angular rate, and magnetic field, respectively.
Note
If you are using Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense hardware, which always includes an embedded sensor, reading data from a breakout board containing LSM9DS1 sensor is not supported.
Ports
Output
You can select the active sensor(s) to measure angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field, or a combination of these measurements.
Acceleration (m/s^2) — Acceleration along each axis as measured by accelerometer
vector
The block outputs acceleration as a n
-by-3 vector,
where n
is the value specified as Samples per frame. Each value
represents the measurement of acceleration in g(9.8 m/s^2)
along
the X, Y, and Z axes.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Acceleration parameter.
Data Types: double
Angular rate (dps) — Angular velocity along each axis as measured by gyroscope
vector
The block outputs velocity as a n
-by-3 vector, where
n
is the value specified as Samples per frame. Each value
represents the measurement of angular velocity in degrees per second (dps) along the
X, Y, and Z axes.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Angular rate parameter.
Data Types: double
Magnetic Field (µT) — Strength of magnetic field along each axis as measured by magnetometer
vector
The block outputs magnetic field as a n
-by-3 vector,
where n
is the value specified as Samples per frame. Each value
represents the measurement of magnetic field in micro Tesla (µT) along the X, Y, and Z
axes.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Magnetic field parameter.
Data Types: double
Timestamp — Timestamp at which data is read
matrix | (n
)-by-1
Timestamp (in seconds) at which data is read from the sensor, returned as
n
-by-1 matrix, where n
is the
value specified as Samples per frame.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Timestamp parameter.
