BMI160 sensor setup

The BMI160 sensor has 12 pins, as shown in the picture below. To use it, connect the VIN pin to a 3.3V signal, the GND pin to ground (0V), the SCL pin to the I2C clock, and the SDA pin to an I2C data pin. For example, refer to the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit's Expansion Header Connections in the second image below. The connections should be made in this case, as illustrated in the last image.

NOTE: its I2C address can be found on bus number 7 (Jetson Nano) or 8 (Jetson Xavier NX) and the 0x69 address. The bus number can be found in the 40-pin header description for the platform (NVIDIA case).
