7Semi BMI330 6DoF IMU Nano Module - 6-Axis Accelerometer and Gyroscope Motion Sensor with I2C Interface For Tilt Detection and Angle Measurement
The 7Semi BMI330 IMU Nano Module is a compact, high-performance motion-sensing board built around Bosch's BMI330 inertial measurement unit. It integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope onto a single breakout board, delivering accurate motion, rotation, and orientation data in a form factor suited for space-constrained designs. The module supports a Qwiic-compatible I2C interface for plug-and-play connectivity and includes breakout pads for SPI communication, providing flexibility across a wide range of hardware platforms. A built-in power management unit (PMU) and a 16-bit digital temperature sensor further extend its capabilities for embedded and industrial use cases.
Designed for reliable operation across a temperature range of -40C to +105C, the module is well-suited for applications that demand consistent performance in varying environmental conditions. With configurable accelerometer ranges of +-2g to +-16g and gyroscope ranges of +-125 to +-2000 dps, it supports precise tuning for different motion-sensing requirements. Whether used in robotics, wearable electronics, predictive maintenance systems, or IoT platforms, the BMI330 Nano Module offers a dependable and energy-efficient solution for 6-axis motion tracking.
