Getting Data off IMUs with Wire Connection

[crested_coua]

How would one get data off a Bosch IMU into a laptop with a wired connection? I am specifically looking to connect 20+ BMI160s to a laptop and read data from them in real-time.

Hello crested_coua,

You could use the microcontroller to read the sensor data, and then transfer the data to the computer through USB.

Is there a guide on how to do this for a BMI160?

Hello crested_coua,

You could refer BMI160 data sheet and driver code to read sensor data from BMI160 by using microcontroller.
