BHI160B and BHI260AB lifecycle

[JAS]

Hi, 

I saw on another forum post that BHI160 has gone obsolete:

https://community.bosch-sensortec.com/t5/MEMS-sensors-forum/BHI160B-Gravity-output-takes-a-long-time...

I just wanted to  confirm if this is correct and if this applies to the BHI160B and BHI160AB?

Hi JAS,

If you want to get better performance, it is recommended to use BHI260. BHI160 is still in use, and refer the official information from https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/products/smart-sensors/programmable-sensor-systems/

Thank you for clarifying.

Our application is using this as a 9 axis fusion IMU.

I saw in the BHI160 datasheet, it supports various sensors off the shelf, such as the BMM150.

Does BHI260 offer the same support, or is more customisation required? Is there a list of sensors that the BHI260 supports?

Hi JAS,

BHI260 also supported these mag sensor in the list.

If the mag sensor you used was not in current list, we need to develop software to support it once you design a project with BHI260.
