Adafruit 9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout – BNO055
Description
If you’ve ever ordered and wire up a 9-DOF sensor, chances are you’ve also
realized the challenge of turning the sensor data from an accelerometer,
gyroscope and magnetometer into actual “3D space orientation”! Orientation is
a hard problem to solve. 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! This sensor can output: Absolute
orientation(Euler Vector, 100Hz and Quatenrion, 100Hz), Angular velocity
Vector(100Hz), Acceleration Vector(100Hz), Magnetic Field Strength
Vector(20Hz), Linear Acceleration Vector(100Hz), Gravity Vector(100Hz), and
Temperature! Handy, right? Adafruit placed this very nice sensor on its own
breakout, complete with 3.3V regulator, logic level shifting for the Reset and
I2C pins, an external 32.768KHz crystal (recommended for best performance),
and breakouts for some other pins you might find handy. Some soldering is
required to attach the header to the breakout PCB, but its pretty easy work.
