class qmi8658c.QMI8658C(i2c_bus: I2C, address=107)

Driver for the QMI8658C 6-DoF accelerometer and gyroscope.

Parameters:

i2c_bus (I2C) – The I2C bus the device is connected to
address (int) – The I2C device address. Defaults to 0x68

Quickstart: Importing and using the device

Here is an example of using the QMI8658C class. First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor
import board
import qmi8658c
Once this is done you can define your board.I2C object and define your sensor object
i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
sensor = qmi8658c.QMI8658C(i2c)
Now you have access to the acceleration, gyro and temperature attributes
acc_x, acc_y, acc_z = sensor.acceleration
gyro_x, gyro_y, gyro_z = sensor.gyro
temperature = sensor.temperature

property acceleration: Tuple[float, float, float]: Acceleration X, Y, and Z axis data in \(m/s^2\)

property accelerometer_enable: int: Enable / disable accelerometer

property accelerometer_range: int: The measurement range of all accelerometer axes. Must be a AccRange

property accelerometer_rate: int: The measurement rate of all accelerometer axes. Must be a AccRate

property gyro: Tuple[float, float, float]: Gyroscope X, Y, and Z axis data in \(rad/s\)

property gyro_enable: int: Enable / disable gyroscope

property gyro_range: int: The measurement range of all gyroscope axes. Must be a GyroRange

property gyro_rate: int: The measurement rate of all gyroscope axes. Must be a GyroRate

property raw_acc_gyro: Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int]: Raw data extraction

property raw_acc_gyro_bytes: Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int]: Raw bytes extraction

property temperature: float: Chip temperature

property timestamp: int: Timestamp from boot up
