- Connect board VIN (red wire) to Arduino 5V if you are running a 5V board Arduino (Uno, etc.). If your board is 3V, connect to that instead.
- Connect board GND (black wire) to Arduino GND
- Connect board SCL (yellow wire) to Arduino SCL
- Connect board SDA (blue wire) to Arduino SDA
The final results should resemble the illustration above, showing an Adafruit Metro development board.

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.
Then follow the same process for the Adafruit BusIO library.
Finally follow the same process for the Adafruit Unified Sensor library:
Load Example
Download the example below. Open up File -> Open and navigate to the downloaded lis3mdl_lsm6ds_test and upload to your Arduino wired up to the sensor.
The example is written to work with the LIS3MDL + LSM6DSOX. To use with the LIS3MDL + LSM6DS33, uncomment the following lines.
//#include <Adafruit_LSM6DS33.h> //Adafruit_LSM6DS33 lsm6ds;
To use with the LSM6DS3TR-C + LIS3MDL, uncomment the following lines.
//#include <Adafruit_LSM6DS3TRC.h> //Adafruit_LSM6DS3TRC lsm6ds;
To use with the LIS3MDL + ISM330DHCX, uncomment the following lines.
//#include <Adafruit_ISM330DHCX.h> //Adafruit_ISM330DHCX lsm6ds;
Once you upload the code and open the Serial Monitor (Tools->Serial Monitor) at 115200 baud, you will see the current configuration printed, followed by the accelerometer, gyro, and temperature measurements. You should see something similar to this:
