Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with an Grove 6-Axis Acceleromete

Hey guys,

I am relatively new in the Raspberry Pi world but I have to messure the free running time of an SCARA robot. I bought myself a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ aswell as a Grove 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope


This one to be exact.
So I wanted to control the sensor with my Raspberry Pi. Is there any way to read the output of the sensor without using the GrovePi? And does this sensor even get supported by the GrovePi?

I am sorry if this question has come up a lot and i am thankful for every answer.

Hi dzimmer, yes this sensor works with Grove pi+ and raspberry pi. Please check out open source code developed by dextor industries GrovePi/Software/Python/grove_6axis_acc_compass/lsm303d.py
