Bosch BNO055 sensor library for Arduino leonardo

Other Hardware Sensors

Hello,

I want to use Bosch BNO055 sensor to observe the head orientation. Does it require a specific library to run it on Arduino Leonardo? Has anyone implemented such a combination?

Thanks in advance.

Adafruit offers a library for that chip which works on the Leonardo too. But to answer your question: No, it doesn't require that library, such a library just makes your job (of programming) much easier.

Hello pylon,
I have already tried Adafruit's BNO055 but I experienced drifting in the Yaw values after using the sensor for some time. That's the reason I want to try another sensor.
So from your sayings, in the case of the Bosch sensor, I will have to do the maths to get the pitch, yaw, and roll values. Right?

Not with the BNO055. But to get stable values requires valid sensor calibration. Your code should read out the calibration status, and ignore sensor readings with invalid calibration.

Thank you. I know where to look!!
