High-Performance 6-Axis IMU
The 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ is powered by the ICM-42605, a high-performance 6-axis MotionTracking™ IMU from TDK InvenSense. This advanced sensor combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, featuring a 2Kb-byte FIFO that can lower the traffic on the serial bus interface (SPI or I2C). The FIFO reduces power consumption by allowing the system processor to burst read sensor data and then go into a low-power mode.
Industry-Leading Feature
The 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ also features the industry-leading APEX Motion Processing engine, which provides advanced sensor fusion algorithms, sensor calibration, and data compression. This feature ensures that the Click board™ provides accurate and reliable data in real-time, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
mikroSDK-Compliant Library
The 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK-compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This ensures that the Click board™ is easy to integrate into your existing system and provides seamless operation.
Ready-to-Use Product
The 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket. This means you can start using the Click board™ right away without any additional setup or configuration.

How Does The 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ Work?
The 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ is based on the ICM-42605, a 6-axis motion tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer from TDK InvenSense. It features a 2K-byte FIFO that can lower the traffic on the selected serial bus interface and reduce power consumption by allowing the system processor to burst read sensor data and then go into a low-power mode. With its 6-axis integration, the ICM-42605 guarantees optimal motion performance for customers. The IICM-42605 supports an extended operating temperature range, allowing customers to design it into various industrial IoT applications, including navigation and stabilizing industrial machinery and robots.
The gyroscope supports eight programmable full-scale range settings from ±15.625dps to ±2000dps, and the accelerometer supports four programmable full-scale range settings from ±2g to ±16g. Other industry-leading features include on-chip 16-bit ADCs, programmable digital filters, an embedded temperature sensor, and programmable interrupts. The ICM-42605 also provides high robustness by supporting 20,000g shock reliability.
This Click board™ allows using both I2C and SPI interfaces at a maximum frequency of 1MHz for I2C and 24MHz for SPI communication. Selection is made by positioning SMD jumpers marked COMM SEL to the appropriate position. All jumpers must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. When the I2C interface is selected, the ICM-42605 allows the choice of its I2C slave address, using the ADDR SEL SMD jumper set to an appropriate position marked 1 or 0. In addition to communication pins, this board also possesses additional interrupt pins, routed to the INT and IT2 pins on the mikroBUS™ socket, to signal MCU that an event, such as specific tap or sample acquisition conditions, has happened. Besides the standard interrupt function, the IT2 pin can also be used as a Frame Synchronization signal for synchronization with an external digital signal.
Thie 6DOF IMU 18 Click Board™ can only be operated with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
