My company is looking to purchase hardware for the measurement of distance and velocity in the weight room. Here is an example of what others are using: 6 DoF inertial measurement unit consisting of: 1 3D Accelerometer 1 3D Gyroscope Data collected at 1000Hz Can you help steer me in the right direction? I can connect you with my tech team for more details. Thanks ---

I’d recommend the [[ICM-20948](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15335). It includes the two sensors you need as well as a 3D magnetometer.]([https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15335](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15335)) ---

Thank you! I’ll look into the sensor you recommended and follow-up with sales if need be.
