    What is the future of BMX160

    What is the future of BMX160

    Hi,

    I'm using the BMX160 for my project. I struggled a lot to find them in the past month. I noticed recently that it's not recommended for new design anymore on its webpage.

    But it also seems that it doesn't have any real replacement in its category. My project needs the magnetometer so I can't use the BMI160 only. I know i can connect the bmm150 to it but it's not optimal since my project is really really small.

     

    Is bosch planning to announce a replacement or is the totally integrated IMU+magnetometer category not interesting them anymore??

    Hi mlouaze,

    Currently, there is no plan for a next generation of 9-axis products.
    IMU + magnetometer is recommended, so that users can decide to use or not use magnetometer in their product.

    Can you explain why Bosch made this choice? The BMI 160 and BMM150 where avaiable separated or combined in the BMX160. It seems we are loosing a choice and not gaining any flexibility...

    Anyway thanks for the really fast answer!
