Introduction

Library for the ST ICM-20X Wide-Range 6-DoF Accelerometer and Gyro Family

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-icm20x

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-icm20x

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-icm20x

Usage Example

For use with the ICM20649:

import time
import board
import adafruit_icm20x

i2c = board.I2C()   # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
icm = adafruit_icm20x.ICM20649(i2c)

while True:
    print("Acceleration: X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f m/s^2" % (icm.acceleration))
    print("Gyro X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f rads/s" % (icm.gyro))
    print("")
    time.sleep(0.5)

For use with the ICM20948:

import time
import board
import adafruit_icm20x

i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
icm = adafruit_icm20x.ICM20948(i2c)

while True:
    print("Acceleration: X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f m/s^2" % (icm.acceleration))
    print("Gyro X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f rads/s" % (icm.gyro))
    print("Magnetometer X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f uT" % (icm.magnetic))
    print("")
    time.sleep(0.5)
