BHI160BP - How is the sensor affected by the area of the body where it is worn

[Zifferblatt]

Hi there,

in our application scenario, we are imagining a device worn at different areas of the body e.g. Wrist, Lanyard, Arms, Head etc.

How will the sensor be affected by that in terms of measurement accuracy and general performance? Do you have any datasheets or research in that area you could point me to?

Best,

Hello Zifferblatt,

In terms of hardware, bhi160bp is close to bhi160b. In terms of software, bhi160bp focuses on PDR application.
