SparkFun SPX-17353 BMI270 Breakout Board

SparkFun SPX-17353 BMI270 Breakout Board is a highly integrated and low-power Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) designed for wearable, smart clothing, and AR/VR applications. The BMI 270 Sensor comprises a fast and sensitive accelerometer, gyro pair, and also a number of intelligent, on-chip motion-triggered interrupt features. The BMI270 IMU Breakout makes it easy to add this sensor to projects using solderless Qwiic cables and compatible controllers. On-board solder jumpers allow easy selection of the device address, removal of the I²C pull-ups, and disabling the power LED if required.
