BMX160 evaluation test

[ShaKhu]

Hello everyone,

I am evaluating BMX160 IMU sensor for use in our products. The specifications of the BMX160 are highly competitive and it is a leading candidate among IMUs that I am evaluating. I have a shuttle board for the same BMX160 sensor for the purpose of evaluation; however, I am having difficulty in evaluating it's performance.

My evaluation test comprises of measuring displacements using BMX160, that is if I move BMX160 then it should tell me how much it has moved let's say in 2D plane, I assume that it is lying flat on the table. In other words, I am trying to recreate trajectory of IMU movement on 2D plane. I will be highly thankful if you can kindly send me or point me towards sample source code/existing software packages/drivers where I can use BMX160 to recreat its trajectory in 2D space.

Please, feel free to ask for further details. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

I look forward to your positive reply.

Thanks & Regards,

Khu

Hello ShaKhu,

 As you know, BMX160 output RAW data, supported different kinds of features.

If these features and BSXLite couldn't meet your requirement, you should develope algorithm by yourself for recreating its trajectory in 2D space.
