Multi-Sensor Stick (BME280 + LTR559 + LSM6DS3)
| Brand | Pimoroni |
| SKU: | 467-1 |
Pimoroni PIM745 - A 3-in-1 super sensor suite for environmental, light and movement sensing, with Qw/ST for easy, solderless connectivity.
We heard you like sensors (we definitely like sensors!). So we combined three of our favourite ones into a convenient, small, stick-shaped format that's perfect for adding additional smarts to a bunch of different projects. The onboard I2C sensors can detect:
- Temperature ?
- Pressure ☔
- Humidity ?
- Light ?
- Proximity ✋
- Orientation ?
- Motion (including steps, single and double taps and freefall ?)
It has a Qw/ST (also known as STEMMA QT and Qwiic) connector at each end to make it easy to connect it up to Qw/ST compatible microcontrollers, HATs and other boards via cable.

Software
If you're planning on using the Multi-Sensor Stick with Raspberry Pi Pico (or another RP2040/RP2340 microcontroller) there are drivers for BME280 and LTR559 baked into our custom MicroPython builds. We've spun up a new standalone MicroPython library for LSM6DS3 - search for lsm6ds3-micropython in Thonny's 'Manage Packages' to install it.
