Arduino Sample Code

Use the following code to interface the **GY-BMI160 sensor with Arduino**:

#include 
#include 

Adafruit_BMI160 bmi160;

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    if (!bmi160.begin()) {
        Serial.println("Sensor initialization failed!");
        while (1);
    }
    Serial.println("BMI160 Connected");
}

void loop() {
    sensors_event_t accel, gyro, temp;
    bmi160.getEvent(&accel, &gyro, &temp);

    Serial.print("Accel X: "); Serial.print(accel.acceleration.x);
    Serial.print(" Y: "); Serial.print(accel.acceleration.y);
    Serial.print(" Z: "); Serial.println(accel.acceleration.z);

    Serial.print("Gyro X: "); Serial.print(gyro.gyro.x);
    Serial.print(" Y: "); Serial.print(gyro.gyro.y);
    Serial.print(" Z: "); Serial.println(gyro.gyro.z);
    
    delay(500);
}
