Python library for the LSM6DS3
Project description
LSM6DS3 Python Library
Generated from the Pimoroni Python Boilerplate.
The LSM6DS3TR-C is an always-on 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope that includes additional built-in functions such as:
- Pedometer
- Tap and double tap recognition
- Significant motion and tilt detection
- Free-fall detection
Installing
We'd recommend using this library with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or later. It requires Python ≥3.7.
Full install (recommended):
We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get you up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you'll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:
In the new terminal window type the commands exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:
git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/lsm6ds3-python
cd lsm6ds3-python
./install.sh
Note Libraries will be installed in the "pimoroni" virtual environment, you will need to activate it to run examples:
source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate
Development:
If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you can install the development version like so:
git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/lsm6ds3-python
cd lsm6ds3-python
./install.sh --unstable
Install stable library from PyPi and configure manually
- Set up a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages $HOME/.virtualenvs/pimoroni
- Switch to the virtual environment:
source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate
- Install the library:
pip install lsm6ds3
In some cases you may need to us sudo
or install pip with: sudo apt install python3-pip
.
This will not make any configuration changes, so you may also need to enable:
- i2c:
sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
You can optionally run sudo raspi-config
or the graphical Raspberry Pi Configuration UI to enable interfaces.
