So does the LSM6DS3 support SPI or not?

Didn't see a way to delete this post, so just overwriting it...

Finally got the LSM6DS3 to work over SPI. Was just some loose connections that didn't seem to bother any signal except the chip's SDO, which is still so touchy it won't work when I touch the scope probe to it. Anyway I hope that issue will go away when things are soldered down.

Hi crocker.lee   We were wandering if you have compared the LSM6DS3 to the  Bosch alternative BM1055.  We, like you are examining the relevance of adding Gyro (rotational) data to multi-axis accelleration data when measuring the movement of an animal object.  The gyro data  adds an extra dimension to movement discrimination  but the cost in power consumption compared to the accel. is huge.  So we are considering ''how much gyro do we actually need''.  So if you have thoughts on this please get in touch.
