## Overview

The Adafruit BNO055 breakout board features Bosch’s innovative 9-DOF sensor with integrated sensor fusion, delivering stable absolute orientation, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field, and temperature data via I2C. Its compact design and comprehensive tutorials make it ideal for professionals and makers seeking fast, reliable spatial awareness without the usual algorithm hassle.

## Description

The 9 degrees of freedom, abosulte orientation IMU fusion breakout, solves what can be the challenging problem of turning sensor data from an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer into actual 3 dimensional space orientation. The sensor fusion algorithms (the secret sauce that blends accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope data into stable three-axis orientation output) can be mind-numbingly difficult to get right and implement on low cost real time systems. Rather than spending weeks or months fiddling with algorithms of varying accuracy and complexity, you can have meaningful sensor data in minutes thanks to the BNO055 - a smart 9-DOF sensor that does the sensor fusion all on its own. Data is read over I2C. Bosch is the first company to get this right by taking a MEMS accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope and putting them on a single die with a high speed ARM Cortex-M0 based processor to digest all the sensor data, abstract the sensor fusion and real t

## Questions & Answers

**Q: As i understand, this sensor is good for orientation. but is also better for 3d position calculation, then the cheaper imus?**
A: The linear acceleration comes only relative to the Chip's coordinate frame. Getting absolute "earth-frame" acceleration requires 3D vector rotations (Adafruit might do this, but I did my own). Regardless, double integrating acceleration to get position has a lot of drift error. The fusion acceleration data (gravity removed) only updates at 100Hz. I tried integrating at 60Hz with no filtering and picking the chip up off the table caused a velocity drift of ~1m/s. Unusable! Getting accurate *position* readings for any IMU is an incredibly intricate science regardless of the IMU capabilities.

**Q: Does anybody know about the effect of vibrations on this sensor?**
A: This device is usually used in fusion modes which filter out noise, including vibration, to a significant degree in order to calculate absolute orientation and direction. You can access the sensors in raw mode to fully expose the vibration. The Adafruit website has example code and a link to the Bosh BNO055 data sheet.

**Q: Angular Orientation? 
Does this chip allow me to get an angular orientation? Will it produce a live angle reading?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is it possible to connect this through USB to my computer?**
A: Not directly.  You would need to connect it to something like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and write code for those processors to get the data into your PC.
