Fermion BMX160 9-Axis Sensor Breakout Board

The enjoyable versatility of hobby Electronics is the ability to develop your project devices further than you might have originally imagined. But sometimes the electronic components and boards you have doesn’t feature the sensors or functions you need. Breakout boards are wonderful add-on components with easy-to-install features to expand your project functionality. This Fermion BMX160 9-Axis Sensor Breakout Board with an accelerometer, gyroscope and geomagnetic sensors in one.

Very compact in size, this BMX160 board is one of the smallest 9-Axis sensors with fantastic functionality. The board’s accelerometer is 16-bit and measures the vibration or acceleration of motion. The gyroscope also features 16-bit and measures the orientation and angular velocity of an object. The geomagnetic sensor allows you to detect the magnetic field of the Earth. With only 1.5mA power consumption, the BMX160 9-Axis Sensor Breakout Board is perfect for small form applications with constraints on board space. The Fermion BMX160 9-Axis Sensor Breakout Board is compatible with Arduino Uno R3 or similar boards. Wearable fitness trackers, quadcopters, and smart remote controls are just a few fun projects you can enhance with this 3 in 1 sensor board.
