Gravity I2C BMI160 6-Axis Motion Sensor with Gyroscope

The Gravity sensor from DFRobot measures motion with the Bosch BMI160, which combines a 16-bit accelerometer and a gyroscope with 3 axes each. The chip has a built-in step counter whose values can be read directly from registers. A voltage regulator and a level shifter on the module allow operation with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32 or ESP8266.

Note: The connection cable can be converted to male pins with a Dupont cable M-M, so that it also fits an Arduino UNO.
