Using the LSM6DS3TR-C + LIS3MDL with Arduino involves wiring up the sensor to your Arduino-compatible microcontroller, installing the Adafruit_LSM6DS library, installing the Adafruit_LIS3MDL library and running the provided example code.
Wiring
Wire as shown for a 5V board like an Uno. If you are using a 3V board, like an Adafruit Feather, wire the board's 3V pin to the LSM6DS3TR-C + LIS3MDL VIN.
Here is an Adafruit Metro wired up to the LSM6DS3TR-C + LIS3MDL using the STEMMA QT connector:
-
Board 5V to sensor VIN (red wire)
-
Board GND to sensor GND (black wire)
-
Board SCL to sensor SCL (yellow wire)
- Board SDA to sensor SDA (blue wire)
Here is an Adafruit Metro wired up using a solderless breadboard:
-
Board 5V to sensor VIN (red wire)
-
Board GND to sensor GND (black wire)
-
Board SCL to sensor SCL (yellow wire)
- Board SDA to sensor SDA (blue wire)
Library Installation
You can install the Adafruit LIS3MDL library and the Adafruit LSM6DS library for Arduino using the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE.
Click the Manage Libraries ... menu item, search for Adafruit LIS3MDL, and select the Adafruit LIS3MDL library:
Follow the same process for the Adafruit LSM6DS library.
If asked about dependencies, click "Install all".
If the "Dependencies" window does not come up, then you already have the dependencies installed.
If the dependencies are already installed, you must make sure you update them through the Arduino Library Manager before loading the example!
The example is written to work with the LIS3MDL + LSM6DSOX. To use with the LSM6DSTR-C + LIS3MDL, uncomment the following lines.

Upload the sketch to your board and open up the Serial Monitor (Tools -> Serial Monitor) at 115200 baud. You should see the values from the embedded temperature sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer being printed out. You'll see the values change depending on the movement of the sensor.
