Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the LSM6DSL?

Yes. The symbol is Sensor_Motion:LSM6DSL and the footprint Package_LGA:LGA-14_3x2.5mm_P0.5mm_LayoutBorder3x4y, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the LSM6DSL?

LGA-14(2.5x3), with 14 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the LSM6DSL datasheet?

STMicroelectronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the LSM6DSL?

JLCPCB lists it as part C126672, with 19,412 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the LSM6DSL?

Parts like it in the library: the LSM6DS3TR-C by STMicroelectronics, the ISM330DHCX by STMicroelectronics, the LSM6DSM by STMicroelectronics and the LSM6DS3 by STMicroelectronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the LSM6DSL?

52 boards in 38 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
