BMI160 6DOF 6-Axis Accelerometer + Gyroscope Sensor Module

The Bosch BMI160 is a high-performance 6DOF (6 Degrees of Freedom) sensor that combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope into a single low-power, compact module. Designed for motion detection and orientation tracking, this sensor is widely used in wearable devices, robotics, drones, and gaming applications where precise motion sensing is essential.

The BMI160 communicates via I²C or SPI interface, making it easy to integrate with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. With its ultra-low power consumption, built-in FIFO, and advanced digital features, this sensor delivers reliable performance in real-time motion tracking.
