The Story
We heard you like sensors (we definitely like sensors!). So we combined three of our favourite ones into a convenient, small, stick-shaped format perfect for adding additional smarts to many different projects. The onboard I2C sensors can detect:
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Humidity
- Light
- Proximity
- Orientation
- Motion (including steps, single and double taps and freefall
It has a Qw/ST (also known as STEMMA QT and Qwiic) connector at each end to make it easy to connect it up to Qw/ST compatible microcontrollers, HATs and other boards via cable. Qw/ST cables are sold separately.
Features
- Bosch BME280 temperature, pressure, humidity sensor (datasheet)
- Great for sensing conditions around your homeĀ
- I2C interface (address: 0x76)
- Lite-On LTR-559ALS-01 sensor (datasheet)
- I2C interface (address: 0x23)
- IR/UV-filtering
- 50.60Hz flicker rejection
- 0.01 lux to 64,000 lux light detection range
- ~5cm proximity detection range
- STMicroelectronics LSM6DS3TR-C accelerometer and gyroscope (datasheet)
- I2C interface (address: 0x6a)
- Ā±2/Ā±4/Ā±8/Ā±16 g full scale
- Ā±125/Ā±250/Ā±500/Ā±1000/Ā±2000 dps full scale
- Tap and double-tap detection
- Free-fall detection
- Pedometer/step detection
- 2x Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector
- 3.3V compatible
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi computers
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico
Software
If you plan on using the Multi-Sensor Stick withĀ Raspberry Pi PicoĀ (or another RP2040/RP2350 microcontroller) there are drivers for BME280 and LTR559 baked into our custom MicroPython builds. We've spun up a new standalone MicroPython library for LSM6DS3 - search forĀ lsm6ds3-micropythonĀ in Thonny's 'Manage Packages' to install it.
