Unable to detect AltIMU-10 v5 as an i2c device with raspberry pi

Hello,
I am not able to detect AltIMU-10 v5 as an i2c device with raspberry pi.The connections are as below and I checked them multiple times:
SCL >>5
SDA >>3
GND>>34
Vin>>1
I also use a level shifter to convert 5 v to 3.3v useful for the pins of the raspberry pi.I used the steps from the link below to work with IMU:

When I run the command below:
i2cdetect -y 1
5
I do not see any specific address allocated to IMU.Do you have any idea how I can solve this problem?
I guess the problem is not from i2c itself as you can see in the picture below:

Hello @SM75 and welcome to the forum,

The connection should be

VDD>>1

Leave Vin disconnected

Also, according to the getting started procedure described on the repo if you don’t get any I2C addresses on the table you should try the following:

“If you do not see a few hex numbers in the body of the table, then make sure your soldering and wiring are correct and try selecting a different bus by changing the bus number argument N .”

So you could try running

sudo i2cdetect -y 0

I hope that helps!
