BMI260/BMI270 I2C Python library (bare bones)
Project description
BMI260/BMI270 I2C Python Implementation - Version: 0.4.5
Bare bones BMI260/BMI270 I2C Python implementation. This was a project for my practical phase at my University and my first time working hands on with IMUs.
Fork
- Added BMI260 support
Installation
The package is available on pypi.org.
You can install this package using this command:
pip3 install bmi260
For a Raspberry Pi Setup add/change this line in /boot/config.txt to your desired baudrate:
dtparam=i2c_baudrate=400000
Reboot your Raspberry Pi after applying the change.
Usage
Make sure these lines are connected: GND, 3V3, SDA, SCL
If you are using the SparkFun SPX-17353 BMI270 Breakout Board, you can easily connect them using a 1mm 4-pin JST connector cable. (example: Qwiic cables)
Make sure that the device is available at 0x68
or 0x69
i2c address by running this command:
i2cdetect -y 1
The BMI270 requires a config load. This initialization step is necessary to be able to use all its functions.
load_config()
A full power cycle is necessary if you want to load the config again.
Check out examples for more information.
Tested with:
- Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
- Raspbian 10 - Buster (32 Bit)
Dependencies
requires Python >= 3.7
