Hi Sir,

Please confirm this new LSM6DSL part is pin to pin and firmware side compatible with the LSM6DS3 part. Or please share changes .

Hi Anees @APK.1 ,

LSM6DS3 and LSM6DSL are pin-to-pin compatible, as you can also see from the two datasheets, p.17.

LSM6DSL has some additional registers, such as the user offset compensation and the Bank B embedded function registers, and is in general more performant, so no issue also on firmware / software side.

You can check in this case the configuration C code on Github, lsm6ds3_read_data_polling.c and lsm6dsl_read_data_polling.c: in the LSM6DSL case, the configuration of internal filters is added, but it is not mandatory.

Thanks for the support.
