Perfect for drone stabilization projects
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The data output is smooth and the I2C communication is stable. Great value for a 6DOF sensor.

Great for university projects
Bought this for my final year project on gesture recognition. The library support for Raspberry Pi made integration very easy. Highly recommended.

Good sensor, tricky soldering
The performance is excellent for motion tracking, but the pins are very close together. You need a steady hand or a hot air station to mount it on a breakout board.

Low power consumption as advertised
Using this in a battery-powered wearable device. The low power modes really help extend battery life while maintaining accurate step counting.

Solid performance
Noise levels are low compared to older MPU modules. The only downside is the documentation could be more detailed for beginners.

Reliable bulk purchase
Ordered ten units for our makerspace. All arrived in perfect condition and tested successfully. Consistent quality across the batch.
Q: Does this module come with a breakout board included?
A: No, this listing is for the raw BMI160 sensor module only. You will need to solder it to your own PCB or purchase a separate breakout board adapter.
Q: Is calibration required before first use?
A: While the sensor works out of the box, we recommend performing offset calibration for your specific application to achieve the highest accuracy.
Q: Can this operate at 5V logic levels?
A: The sensor operates between 1.71V and 3.6V. If your microcontroller uses 5V logic, you must use a logic level shifter to prevent damage.
Q: Is there a ready-made library for ESP32?
A: Yes, there are several open-source libraries available on GitHub that support the BMI160 with ESP32 via both I2C and SPI interfaces.
Q: What is the maximum sampling rate for the gyroscope?
A: The BMI160 gyroscope supports sampling rates up to 3.2 kHz depending on the configuration and filter settings selected.
