BMI160: common questions
Where can I find a BMI160 reference design?
Each of the 3 boards on this page is a real design using the BMI160. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the BMI160 use?
Most are built on STM32 (2) and Nordic nRF (1).
How big is a typical board using the BMI160?
The median is 59.1 × 72.7 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the BMI160?
By GitHub stars, Cheap-FOCer-2 by shamansystems, with 405 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the BMI160 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
