What is the best magnetometer to pair with the LSM6DSV16X

[Andrea Verdecchia]

I have to work on a project that includes an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. For the first two, I would like to use the LSM6DSV16X sensor, but I haven't yet chosen a magnetometer.

1) Do you have any recommendations for one that would work well with the LSM6DSV16X?

2) Is it possible to synchronize the sampling between the LSM6DSV16X and the magnetometer?

Hi @Andrea Verdecchia ,

You could look at LIS2MDL.

If you want to compute sensor hub with LSM6DSV16X you can follow this official example on Github and the section 7 of AN5763.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you for your suggestion. Do you know if I can find an example schematic somewhere showing the interconnection between the LSM6DSV16X and the LIS2MDL, like the schematic of a development board that has both of them?

Thanks anyway.

Hi @Andrea Verdecchia ,

We don't have LSM6DSV16X and LIS2MDL, but we have MKI217V1 that has LSM6DSO which is pin-pin compatible with LSM6DSV16X. So I think you could look at this schematic

Thanks Federica.
