Review: Fascinating to use - Followed a you tube vid and made an onscreen motion picture following the movement of this chip. Fun to do Review: Plenty of information on line to support the device - Recognised manufacturer, only a couple of connections required to get data out of the device. Purchased the unit to study about inertia devices. Only disadvantage so far is that its a bit pricey compared with similar devices but probably more reliable ## Features - Meaningful sensor data in minutes with Bosch's smart BNO055 smart 9-ODF sensor - Data output over I2C - Absolute orientation, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field strength, linear acceleration, gravity, temperature - Easy to use Adafruit tutorials - Easy soldering of header pins required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017PEIGIG | | Best Sellers Rank | 39,158 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 25 in Acceleration Sensors | | Brand | Adafruit | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (6) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04060137032646 | | Item Dimensions | 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimetres | | Item Weight | 9 g | | Manufacturer | Adafruit | | Material | Composite | | Maximum Supply Voltage | 3.3 Volts (DC) | | Measurement Accuracy | ±0.05° | | Model Number | BNO055 | | Mounting Type | Surface Mount | | Output Type | Digital | | Specific Uses For Product | robotics, drones, wearable devices, virtual reality, augmented reality | | Style Name | Lagesensor | | UPC | 604310746278 743724368543 717520028796 748347529234 618996990092 | | Upper Temperature Rating | 85 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Adafruit - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimetres - **Item weight:** 9 g - **Material:** Composite - **Style:** Lagesensor ## Images ![Adafruit 9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout - BNO055 [ADA2472] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qEXrfKgTL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating to use *by B***D on 7 January 2024* Followed a you tube vid and made an onscreen motion picture following the movement of this chip.
