Excellent for learning IMU concepts
As a student, this was the perfect board to understand how sensor fusion works. The serial protocol is simple enough to parse manually if needed.

Solid performance
We bought ten of these for our workshop. Nine worked perfectly immediately; one had a slightly loose connector but was easily fixed. Good bulk buy.

Low latency response
The update rate is consistent and latency is low, which is critical for my balance robot. The form factor is also very compact.

Perfect for my drone project
This module works flawlessly with my STM32 controller. The serial output is stable and the attitude angle calculations are surprisingly accurate right out of the box.

Great value, easy to integrate
Integration was straightforward using the provided documentation. Only giving 4 stars because the pin headers were not pre-soldered, but that's a minor issue.

Reliable data streaming
I've been logging motion data for weeks without any dropouts. The BMI160 chip handles high-frequency vibrations well. Highly recommended for industrial prototyping.
Q: What represents the output format of the angle data?
A: The module outputs Euler angles (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) in degrees via the serial port. The data packet structure is detailed in the user manual included in the download section.
Q: Does this module support I2C communication as well as UART?
A: This specific JY61P model is configured for UART Serial output by default. While the BMI160 chip supports I2C, this board's firmware and pinout are optimized for serial transmission.
Q: Can I use this with an Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, you can connect it to an Arduino Uno. Since the Uno uses 5V logic and this module accepts 3.3V-5V, you can connect VCC to 5V, GND to GND, and TX/RX to the hardware serial pins (with voltage level shifting recommended for RX if strict 3.3V logic is required, though many users report direct connection works).
Q: Is there a calibration procedure required before first use?
A: The module comes factory-calibrated. However, for high-precision applications, we recommend performing a static calibration by placing the sensor on a flat surface and recording the offset values in your software.
Q: What is the exact current consumption during operation?
A: Under normal operating conditions at 3.3V, the module typically consumes around 1.2mA. Peak current may vary slightly depending on the active sensor modes.
