BMI160 Accelerometer/Gyroscope Sensor

The bmi160 sensor platform allows you to use your BMI160 Accelerometer/Gyroscope (datasheet, SparkFun) sensors with ESPHome. The I²C Bus is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

This component only does some basic filtering and no calibration. Due to the complexity of this sensor and the amount of possible configuration options, you should probably create an external component by copying and modifying the existing code if you want a specific new feature. Supporting all possible use cases would be quite hard.
