Description

Product description: Gravity - BMI160 6DoF IMU - 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope - DFRobot SEN0250

A 6-axisinertial sensor equipped with the Bosch BMI160 MEMS chip. The module integrates a 16-bit 3-axisaccelerometerand a 3-axisgyroscope. It is used to measure linear acceleration in the ranges± 2 g / ± 4 g / ± 8 g / ± 16g and angular velocity in the range± 125 dps / ± 250 dps / ±500dps / ± 1000 dps / ± 2000 dps. It is characterized bylow power consumptionandhighreadingaccuracy. It is used as an additional element for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. It can be used to count steps, as a recorder during running and other exercises. It has a built-in LDO power management circuit, works with a voltage rangefrom 3.2 V to 6 V. It usesI2Cbus to communicate with the controller module.

6-axis motion sensor IMU from DFRobot.

Product is compatible with Arduino

The manufacturer has prepared a detaileduser guidethat makes it significantly easier to start working with the module. It contains instructions for connecting the module to the controller,libraryfor Arduino IDE environment and sample program code.

The kit also includes connection cable and goldpin strip.

Pinout and connection diagram

The sensor module can be connected to the controller in two ways: using theGravityconnector or solder fields. The kit includesmounting and connection componentsfor each option. Connect the components according to the following relationships:

  • VCC ("+") - supply power to the circuit in the range from 3.2 V to 6 V
  • GND ("-") - system ground
  • SCL (C) - I2C interface clock line
  • SDA (D) - I2C interface data line
  • INT1 - configurable interrupt 1 output
  • INT2 - configurable interrupt 2 output
  • SDO - I2C interface address selection
    • GND - 0x68
    • VCC - 0x69 (default)

Connection diagram of the module withDFRduinoboard, which is an Arduino equivalent. The board is not included in set, it can be purchased separately in our shop.

Module is equipped with BMI160 chip.
