The GY-BMI160 6DOF IMU Module is a compact and high-performance motion sensing solution built around the BOSCH BMI160 inertial measurement unit. This module integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to deliver accurate angular velocity and acceleration data for real-time motion tracking applications. Because modern embedded systems demand low power consumption, the BMI160 supports always-on motion detection while maintaining excellent energy efficiency. It offers selectable measurement ranges and 16-bit resolution output, ensuring precise data capture for robotics, wearable electronics, and stabilization systems. The module supports both I2C and SPI communication, therefore allowing flexible integration with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and Raspberry Pi platforms. With onboard voltage regulation and standard 2.54mm pin spacing, the GY-BMI160 is easy to integrate into breadboards and custom PCB designs. Featured By RoboticsBD.
