TENSTAR 2pcs BMI160 6DOF 6-Axis Rate Gyro Gravity Accelerometer Sensor Module IIC I2C SPI BMI160

Description

TENSTAR 2pcs BMI160 6DOF 6-Axis Rate Gyro Gravity Accelerometer Sensor Module – the ultimate solution for motion sensing, robotics, and IoT projects. This dual‑pack delivers precise 3‑axis gyroscope and accelerometer data with I2C and SPI interfaces, making integration fast and flexible.

Product Overview

The BMI160 is a compact, low‑power, 6‑axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that combines a 3‑axis gyroscope and a 3‑axis accelerometer. Designed for mobile devices, drones, wearables, and industrial automation, it offers high accuracy and a wide dynamic range in a single, cost‑effective package.

Key Highlights

• 6 Degrees‑of‑Freedom (6DOF) – 3‑axis gyro + 3‑axis accelerometer
• Dual‑mode communication: I2C (IIC) & SPI for versatile connectivity
• Low power consumption: < 1 mA in normal mode, < 0.1 mA in suspend mode
• Wide operating range: ±250/500/1000/2000 °/s gyro, ±2/4/8/16 g accelerometer
• High resolution: 16‑bit gyro, 12‑bit accelerometer
• Integrated FIFO buffer for efficient data capture
• Robust temperature compensation and self‑calibration features
• Compact 2.5 × 2.5 mm package – ideal for space‑constrained designs
• Pre‑tested 2‑piece set – ready for rapid prototyping or production
