DFRobot Gravity I2C BMI160 6-Axis Motion Sensor with Gyroscope

This 6-axis motion sensor features a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. The BMI160 motion sensor is based on the Bosch BMI160 6-axis MEMS sensor, which combines a 16-bit 3-axis accelerometer with a low-power 3-axis gyroscope. The Bosch BMI160 is designed for smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices. It includes built-in intelligent step counting algorithms that can be read directly via registers. The integrated 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope can detect running, fitness activities, and other movements. The integrated LDO power management chip supports a wide operating voltage range of 3.2 to 6V and also features an I2C level converter. This allows the sensor to be operated with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, or ESP8266.

Info: The connection cable can be converted to male by attaching a 10cm Dupont M-M cable. This makes it easy to use with an Arduino UNO.
