Safe to leave out BMI160 attitude sensors? #43

BMI160 costs €5.4547 a piece at the moment, so I was wondering if it's safe to just leave it's spot empty if I have no plans for using it?

Well if you leave out all of the required components for it as in BMI160 datasheet and configure firmware so it would not use it, then it should be fine. The same thing is often done with MPU6050 which is also I2C device.
