BMI088 → 6 Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope

The Grove - 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope (BMI088) is a 6 DoF (degrees of freedom) High-performance Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) .This sensor is based on BOSCH BMI088, which is a high-performance IMU with high vibration suppression. The 6-axis sensor combines a 16 bit triaxial gyroscope and a 16 bit triaxial accelerometer. Specially, you can use this sensor on the drone and robotics application in demanding environments.

First manually install the Grove BMI088 library:

  1. Go to the repository page.
  2. Click on Code button and in Download ZIP, save the zip file somwhere in your computer.
  3. In the Arduino IDE go to Sketch → Include Library → Add .ZIP Library and slect the file you just downloaded.

Code example




















































#include "BMI088.h"

float ax = 0, ay = 0, az = 0;
float gx = 0, gy = 0, gz = 0;
int16_t temp = 0;

void setup(void) {
    Wire.begin();
    Serial.begin(115200);

    while (!Serial);
    Serial.println("BMI088 Raw Data");

    while (1) {
        if (bmi088.isConnection()) {
            bmi088.initialize();
            Serial.println("BMI088 is connected");
            break;
        } else {
            Serial.println("BMI088 is not connected");
        }

        delay(2000);
    }
}

void loop(void) {
    bmi088.getAcceleration(&ax, &ay, &az);
    bmi088.getGyroscope(&gx, &gy, &gz);
    temp = bmi088.getTemperature();

    Serial.print(ax);
    Serial.print(",");
    Serial.print(ay);
    Serial.print(",");
    Serial.print(az);
    Serial.print(",");

    Serial.print(gx);
    Serial.print(",");
    Serial.print(gy);
    Serial.print(",");
    Serial.print(gz);
    Serial.print(",");

    Serial.print(temp);

    Serial.println();

    delay(50);
}

The output of the accelerometer is best visualized on the Arduino Serial plotter (inside the Tools menu):
