Adafruit ICM-20649 Wide Range ±30g ±4000dps 6-DoF IMU - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

Most accelerometers have a similar range of measurements that they can make: often around 2G - 16G. Similarly, most gyros can measure in the range of 250 degree/s to 2000 degrees/s. That's enough for many situations, however, there are many situations where it's not quite enough. When measuring things like a golf swing, soccer ball kick or perhaps a fancy racing car, you need a bit more performance out of your motion sensor.

The ICM20649 from InvenSense is a Wide-Range 6-DoF accelerometer and Gyro, capable of measuring up to ±30g and ±4000 dps! That's an impressive increase from the norm, about twice the range.

If you've found yourself limited by the standard ranges available, or if you just want to make sure the measurement range of your IMU is never an issue, pick up this handy ICM20649 breakout.
