Setting up the BNO055 Absolute Orientation Sensor | Automatic Addison
IMU ACCEL/GYRO/MAG I2C 28LGA
BNO055 is an intelligent 9-axis absolute orientation sensor. This article mainly covers pinout, datasheet, applications and other details of BNO055.


The BNO055 is a system in package SIP, integrating a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a triaxial 16-bit gyroscope,a triaxial geomagnetic sensor, and a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ microcontroller in a single package. The corresponding chip-sets are integrated into one single 28-pin LGA 3.8mm x 5.2mm x 1.1mm housing. This smart sensor is significantly smaller than comparable solutions.
