# BMI160-i2c
I2C library to use the Inertial Mesurment Unit BMI160. Heavily inspired on @serioeseGmbH code [serioeseGmbH/BMI160](https://github.com/serioeseGmbH/BMI160), in fact I just adapted his code.
This library was tested successfully on a Raspberry Pi 3 B
## Installation
The package is [available on pypi.org](https://pypi.org/project/BMI160-i2c).
You can install this package using this command
`python3 -m pip install BMI160-i2c`
**This library require [smbus](https://github.com/kplindegaard/smbus2)**
Install smbus2 using the following command:
`python3 -m pip install smbus2`
## Usage
Wire the breakout board with these lines : GND, 3V3, SAO (to GND), SDA, SCL
Make sure that the device is available at `0x68` or `0x69` i2c address by running this command:
`i2cdetect -y 1`
Example : A little python script to fetch all 6 values from the sensor :
```python
from time import sleep
from BMI160_i2c import Driver
print('Trying to initialize the sensor...')
sensor = Driver(0x68) # change address if needed
print('Initialization done')
while True:
data = sensor.getMotion6()
# fetch all gyro and acclerometer values
print({
'gx': data[0],
'gy': data[1],
'gz': data[2],
'ax': data[3],
'ay': data[4],
'az': data[5]
})
sleep(0.1)
```
## Documentation
There is so many method available to do whatever you want to do with a sensor of this kind.
Look at all the methods available [here](https://github.com/lefuturiste/BMI160-i2c/blob/master/BMI160_i2c/__init__.py).

## Maintenance
- Increment the version used in `setup.py`
- Build the package: `python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel`
- Publish the package: `python3 -m twine upload dist/*`
- Enter `__token__` for the username
- Enter `pypi-{....}` for the password
- And tada!
