Adafruit 9-DOF Accel/Mag/Gyro+Temp Breakout - LSM9DS1

9-DoF IMU breakout combining a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer, and 3-axis gyroscope in the LSM9DS1 over I2C or SPI. Suitable for orientation, heading, and motion tracking in robotics and wearables.

VIN
Main power input for the breakout; Adafruit states to power VIN and GND with 3-5VDC.

3V3
3.3V output from the onboard voltage regulator; Adafruit says up to 100mA can be drawn.
Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V output, up to 100mA per Adafruit pinouts
GND
Common ground for power and logic.
