Multi-Sensor Stick (BME280 + LTR559 + LSM6DS3)

Multi-Sensor Stick: 3-in-1 Environmental Sensor with Qw/ST Connectivity

Bring intelligence to your projects with the Multi-Sensor Stick, a powerful 3-in-1 suite for environmental, light and motion sensing, featuring STEMMA QT and Qwiic compatible connectors for simple, solder-free connections. Adding smart sensing capabilities to your projects has never been easier!

Pimoroni combined three of the most commonly used sensors into a practical compact stick-shaped format, perfect for adding new features to a wide variety of projects. Ideal for IoT systems, robotics, environmental monitoring and much more.

With the Multi-Sensor Stick you can measure:

• Temperature
• Atmospheric pressure
• Humidity
• Light
• Proximity
• Orientation
• Motion (including steps, single and double tap, free fall)

Thanks to the two Qw/ST connectors (compatible with STEMMA QT and Qwiic), you can easily connect it to compatible microcontrollers, HATs and development boards without soldering. (Qw/ST cables sold separately.)

Multi-Sensor Stick Main Features

• Bosch BME280 – Temperature, pressure and humidity sensor (I2C, address 0x76) (Bosch BME280 datasheet)

• IR/UV filtering, light sensing from 0.01 to 64,000 lux, proximity detection up to approximately 5 cm.
• ST LSM6DS3TR-C – Accelerometer and gyroscope (I2C, address 0x6a) (ST LSM6DS3TR-C datasheet)
• Single/double tap detection, step counting, free-fall and multi-axis motion detection.
• 2x Qw/ST connectors
• 3.3V compatible
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico
• Dimensions: 52 x 7.9 x 4.2 mm (connectors included) – M2.5 mounting holes
• Multi-Sensor Stick datasheet

Software and Support
If you are using a Raspberry Pi Pico (or RP2040/RP2350), MicroPython drivers for BME280 and LTR559 are already available.
Pimoroni has also developed a dedicated MicroPython library for the LSM6DS3: simply search for “lsm6ds3-micropython” in Thonny ‘Manage Packages’ to install it.
