This is a ROS Package of "BMI160 6 DOF IMU C++ driver".

To use in an another package:

1. Clone this repo into src folder

2. cd ~/catkin_ws/

3. catkin_make

4. source devel/setup.bash

5. Add CMakeLists.txt of the "other" package:

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  ...
  imu_bmi160
)

6. Add package.xml of the "other" package:

  <build_depend>imu_bmi160</build_depend>

7. Copy bmi160_acc_example.cpp to the "other" package's /src folder, compile and run as an executable.

add_executable(bmi160_acc_example src/bmi160_acc_example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(bmi160_acc_example 
${catkin_LIBRARIES} 
)

8. This will print out acceleration values only:

rosrun other_package bmi160_acc_example

Warning!

BMI160 is sharing I2C port with PCA9685 as a slave. In the original code, address is 0x68. Since BMI160 is a slave now, line 590 in bmi160_defs.h had been changed to:

/* BMI160 I2C address */
#define BMI160_I2C_ADDR                      UINT8_C(0x69)

The address to be written above can be found by the command:

i2cdetect -y -r 1

which returns:

     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
