    They are very similar devices in terms of mechanical and electrical performance, but the DS3H can work in Mode3 (has an auxiliary SPI).

    You can see it from the p.18 of both datasheets.

    Hi @Community member​ ,

    They should be basically the same product, "S2" for the LSM6DS3 and "SH" for the LSM6DS3H.

    Can you please check if the WHO_AM_I (0Fh) register value is the same for both devices? Should be 69h.
