    BMX160 reading accuracy

    BMX160 reading accuracy

    Hi

    I’m currently using a BMX160 shuttle board on an esp8266 microcontroller, however the readings I am obtaining as an output from the bmx are only whole numbers, no decimals
    E.g 10 instead of 9.81. Does this have something to do with the library I am using, or is the BMX160 sensor not capable of high accuracy values?

    Hello Calvin111,

    BMX160 output LSB data. After you read data from BMX160, you can do the conversion according to the format you need.

    You could refer driver code and example code in github, compare it with your code.
