Perfect for my drone project
This BMI160 module works flawlessly with my flight controller. The data is stable and the noise levels are very low. Highly recommend for anyone building UAVs.

Solid IMU for the price
Compared to other modules in this range, the BMI160 offers better stability. The only reason for 4 stars is the soldering pads are a bit small for beginners.

Fast shipping and well packaged
Arrived quickly and was protected well against static. Tested it immediately on an ESP32 and it connected via I2C without issues. Great value.

Industry standard performance
We use these in our educational kits. The 6-axis fusion is reliable and the power consumption is low enough for battery-operated robots. Very satisfied.

Good sensor, tricky documentation
The hardware is excellent and reads accurately. However, finding the right library for my specific microcontroller took some time. Once set up, it works great.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V Arduino boards?
A: The sensor operates at 3.3V logic. While some boards have 3.3V pins, we recommend using a logic level converter if your board outputs 5V signals to ensure longevity.
Q: What is the maximum SPI clock speed supported?
A: The BMI160 supports SPI communication speeds up to 10 MHz, allowing for high-frequency data retrieval for fast-moving applications.
Q: Does it come with a sample library for Arduino?
A: Yes, we provide a link to the Bosch Sensortec drivers and community-supported Arduino libraries in the product description documentation section.
Q: Are there interrupt pins available on this module?
A: Yes, the module breaks out two configurable interrupt pins that can be used for motion detection or data ready signals.
Q: Can I use this for step counting in a wearable?
A: Absolutely. The BMI160 has built-in intelligent motion triggers optimized for wearable applications like step counting and activity recognition.
