Add BMI270 instead of mpu6050

[skshadan]

I am planning to replace the MPU6050 with a BMI270 sensor. Could someone guide me through this process?

@skshadan It's not hard to do, currently we use https://github.com/espressif/esp-drone/blob/master/components/core/crazyflie/hal/src/sensors_mpu6050_hm5883L_ms5611.c as the sensor's implement. You can achieve by implementing BMI270.

There is another file you can refer:

@skshadan there is no detailed guide, but you can try to read the C code I mentioned.

In short, you need to initialize the sensor yourself and then send the data to the corresponding queue

@leeebo, I have added and initialized the sensor and calibrated it as well. What steps should I follow next? btw Thanks for the help.
