Description
The BNO055 smart sensor board is a compact board that provides a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, an accurate close-loop triaxial 16-bit gyroscope, a triaxial geomagnetic sensor and a 32-bit microcontroller running the BSX3.0 Fusion software. By integrating sensors and sensor fusion in a single device, the BNO055 makes integration easy, avoids complex multivendor solutions and thus simplifies innovations such as novel applications for IoT hardware. The BNO055 is the perfect choice for AR, immersive gaming, personal health and fitness, indoor navigation and any other application requiring context awareness. It is ideally suited for demanding applications such as augmented reality, navigation, gaming, robotics, or industrial applications.
Data Output
The BNO055 can output the following sensor data:
- Absolute Orientation (Euler Vector, 100Hz)
Three axis orientation data based on a 360° sphere - Absolute Orientation (Quaterion, 100Hz)
Four-point quaternion output for more accurate data manipulation - Angular Velocity Vector (100Hz)
Three axis of ‘rotation speed’ in rad/s - Acceleration Vector (100Hz)
Three axis of acceleration (gravity + linear motion) in m/s^2 - Magnetic Field Strength Vector (20Hz)
Three axis of magnetic field sensing in micro-Tesla (uT) - Linear Acceleration Vector (100Hz)
Three axis of linear acceleration data (acceleration minus gravity) in m/s^2 - Gravity Vector (100Hz)
Three axis of gravitational acceleration (minus any movement) in m/s^2 - Temperature (1Hz)
Ambient temperature in degrees Celsius
