Description

I have an application where I would like to get burst data from the LSM9DS1 when it is connected to a Raspberry Pi. As an example I would like to collect 10 seconds of ~900Hz data from the accelerometers and gyros. I think the chip is capable of it. I have not found the capability in the CircuitPython package yet.

Is the capability in the package but I have not found it?
Are there any plans to add the capability?
Is it even possible to do it with Circuit Python?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CircuitPython package and the LSM9DS1's existing sensor-read support, then investigate whether burst acquisition at roughly 900 Hz is feasible on a Raspberry Pi. Done should be a documented feasibility decision or a clearly scoped package capability with an agreed way to collect the requested accelerometer and gyroscope data.
