BNO055 Angular Velocity

[hassan3034]

Hi, I am using BNO055 for angular velocity calculation. I am new to Arduino and from a different field but I need to understand the output so that I may translate it into my field accurately. Someone helps to fetch angular velocity through the following lines of code. Now I think the angular velocity is in rad/sec (not confirmed) but I want it in deg/sec.

So my question is the angular velocity in Rad/sec when using the Adafruit library? if yes then how to convert to deg/sec?

sensors_event_t gyroEvent;
bno.getEvent(&gyroEvent, Adafruit_BNO055::VECTOR_GYROSCOPE);

Serial.print("Gyroscope (Angular Velocity) X: ");
Serial.print(gyroEvent.gyro.x, 4);
Serial.print("\tY: ");
Serial.print(gyroEvent.gyro.y, 4);
Serial.print("\tZ: ");
Serial.print(gyroEvent.gyro.z, 4);
Serial.println("");

That would best be answered by reading the library documentation.

If you chose instead to read the raw gyro values, consult the BNO055 data sheet to learn how to interpret them.
