chip

The BMI160 integrates:

  • 16 bit digital, triaxial accelerometer
  • 16 bit digital, triaxial gyroscope

BMI160 BMI323

The BMI323 is the direct technological successor to the BMI160. While they share the same physical footprint, the BMI323 offers significant improvements in power efficiency, data handling, and ease of integration—especially for battery-operated projects like your Rover V2.
