Overview

The 101020584 is a Grove-compatible breakout board featuring the Bosch BMI088, a high-performance Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) designed for high-vibration environments. It combines a 16-bit digital triaxial gyroscope and a 16-bit digital triaxial accelerometer with a wide measurement range up to plus/minus 24g and plus/minus 2000 degrees per second. This module uses the standardized Grove I2C interface to simplify connection to various microcontroller platforms.

Why Choose This Part

The BMI088 is specifically engineered to suppress vibrations, preventing aliasing and ensuring high-precision data even in mechanically noisy applications. It offers a broad operating voltage range from 3.3V to 5V and features an extremely low noise density of 230 micro-g/sqrt(Hz), making it superior to standard consumer-grade IMUs.

Applications

Drones and UAVs
Utilizes high vibration suppression and low Temperature Coefficient Offset (TCO) to maintain stable flight control in high-frequency vibration environments.
Industrial Robotics
Provides precise motion sensing for robotic arms and automated guided vehicles requiring robust IMU data.
Self-Balancing Systems
Ideal for hoverboards and personal mobility devices that require fast response times and high reliability.
