Interface LSM9DS1 9DOF IMU With TTGO T-Display ESP32

Introduction

TTGO T-Display ESP32 is a tiny microcontroller board. It comes with 1.14" LCD, 2 programmable push button, battery connector with a charging circuit. Since it uses ESP32 module, so it has WiFi and Bluetooth capability. Plus, the price is affordable. Yes, I love it. In this tutorial, I will share how to get started with this board and interface LSM9DS1 9DOF IMU sensor module.

Video

This video shows how to get started with TTGO T-Display ESP32 and interface LSM9DS1 9DOF IMU sensor module.

Hardware Preparation

This is the list of items used in the video.

• TTGO T-Display ESP32 1.14 Display Module
• LSM9DS1 9DOF Accel/Mag/Gyro/Temp Sensor Module
• USB C to Type A Cable (1 Meter)
• Jumper Wire
• Adjustable 60W Soldering Iron (EU Plug)

Wiring connection table.

Sample Program

This is Arduino sample program to read LSM9DS1 data and display to LCD. It requires 2 additional library from Arduino Library Manager:

1. TFT_eSPI by Bodmer Version 1.4.16.
2. Adafruit LSM9DS1 Library by Adafruit Version 1.0.1
