BMI263 with arduino

[Lucio]

Hello everyone,

I'm developing a custom pcb to be used as a sensor platform in a robot. I'm planning to have onboard a BMP280, BME280 and BMI323 plus maybe an high gs accelerometer (I don't know what to choose so if you have any suggestions I appreciate it). 

All these sensors should communicate with the main processor trought I2C but I don't know how to set the right address for each module in order not to have ambiguity during communication. How can I do this?

Just another question...is there any library for arduino to communicate with the BMI323? If not, how I connect and use it with the microcontroller?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Lucio,

To recommend the sensor part, could we know what your application and requirement for sensors?

Each sensor can be set to a unique I2C address, as described in the hardware description in the data sheet.

There are official BMI323 sensor API and example code on github https://github.com/boschsensortec/BMI323-Sensor-API

There was no official BMI323 Arduino library.
For hardware connection, you could see I2C/SPI connection in "chapter 8.2 Connection Diagrams" data sheet: https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/media/boschsensortec/downloads/datasheets/bst-bmi323-ds000.pdf

I'm designing a custom PCB for a flight controller suitable for drones and model rockets.
Thanks for suggesting the api to use and the address selection!
