LSM6DSM

Q: Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the LSM6DSM?

Yes. The symbol is Sensor_Motion:LSM6DSM 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.

Q: What package is the LSM6DSM?

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

Q: Where is the LSM6DSM datasheet?

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

Q: Where can I order the LSM6DSM?

JLCPCB lists it as part C94048, with 4,675 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

Q: What can replace the LSM6DSM?

Parts like it in the library: the LSM6DS3TR-C by STMicroelectronics, the LSM6DSL by STMicroelectronics, the ISM330DHCX by STMicroelectronics and the LSM6DS3 by STMicroelectronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Q: Which open-source boards use the LSM6DSM?

25 boards in 25 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
