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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Adafruit 9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout - BNO055 - Arduino Nano [A000005] – Compact ATmega328P Microcontroller with 22 Digital I/O Pins, 8 Analog Inputs, USB Connectivity, and Arduino IDE Compatibility for Prototyping and DIY Projects - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/162975790-9-dof-absolute-orientation-imu-fusion-breakout-bno055](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/162975790-9-dof-absolute-orientation-imu-fusion-breakout-bno055) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
