BMI160 6-Axis IMU Sensor Module

The BMI160 is a compact and highly accurate 6-DOF motion sensor developed by Bosch Sensortec. It integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope into a single chip, providing precise motion, orientation, and rotation measurements for a wide range of embedded applications.

The sensor is designed for low-power operation and high-performance motion tracking, making it suitable for drones, robotics, wearable devices, gesture recognition systems, fitness trackers, and IoT projects. With support for both I2C and SPI communication interfaces, the BMI160 can be easily integrated with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms.
