Hardware Assembly
I2C Mode
For this example, we'll use a RedBoard Qwiic and associated USB cable. With that and a Qwiic cable, the assembly is very simple. Plug a Qwiic cable between the RedBoard Qwiic and the Qwiic 6DoF LSM6DSO. If you're going to be soldering to the through hole pins, then just attach lines to power, ground, and the I2C data lines to the microcontroller of your choice. Just make sure to match to use a logic level converter to match the 3.3V logic on the Qwiic 6DoF.
SPI Mode
Here's how to connect the SPI lines to a 5V system like the RedBoard Qwiic using a SparkFun Logic Level Converter. Be sure to orient the converter's low side to the LSM6DSO. If using a Teensy or other 3.3V microcontroller, the SPI lines can be connected directly!
Note: When using the LSM6DSO, make sure to firmly attach the thing that is being measured to filter movement noise. To secure the board using its mounting holes, you will need screws and standoffs.
