# BMX160 Sensor Communication via Infineon PSoC™6

## **BMX160 Sensor**

The BMX160 sensor is a high-precision, small-sized module that serves as a powerful tool in tracking and assessing spatial movements and orientations. Housing a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis magnetometer, it can comprehensively monitor motion along nine different planes or axes. This integration into a single package makes it a versatile choice for various applications such as wearables, gaming controls, navigation systems, and drone stabilization, where accurate motion tracking is pivotal.

1. **Accelerometer**: Measures changes in speed in different directions.
2. **Gyroscope**: Detects changes in orientation by measuring the rate of rotation.
3. **Magnetometer**: Senses the magnetic fields that surround it, assisting in determining direction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aic-eec.com/biil_psoc6/serial-communication-and-visualization/bmx160-sensor-communication-via-infineon-psoc-tm-6.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
