Sensor Review: Adafruit BNO055 Absolute Orientation sensor

[@ostrum444]

this is awesome, i was thinking about using one of those imu chips in a little robot, i had no clue it was this easy. thank you.

Very happy to have found your channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

The BNO055 is a great sensor, I have been using them for many years. I believe it is now end-of-life and the replacement is the BNO085 (slightly different library required). I can't be certain if it matters, but I always place them in the centre of the drive wheels to ensure the angle data is as accurate as possible. As the robot rotates on centre or on a single wheel this might affect the accuracy.

Impressive! Indeed, I enjoyed the video and I'm still very much awake... it's morning over here.

You should look up the MaUWB DW3000 chip. Ultrawideband is a technology used for indoor tracking and sounds like a good fit for your project. I think (I haven't actually used it myself) it may rely on placing anchor points at known positions, but as long as your are only using this in the one location (your house) that seems like a reasonable limitation.

Joe, I like your chill style and would like to see you do more with this sensor. I've used the Bosch BMA456 sensor for my work with autonomous underwater vehicles and it was much harder to setup than your sensor. Sorry, but I cringed every time you said "magnometer" instead of "magnetometer." Remember, a magnetometer is a magnetic sensor and has "magnet" as the first part of its name!

😂 Thank you! I've never heard the word spoken... And I guess never read it properly! 😆 I'll remember next time!

@3:05 Oh mate I felt for you in that moment. I know all too well that sudden pang of, I guess 'loss' - of time - as I realise some blindingly obvious solution that was to the side of me the whole time, would have saved hours of hassle and headache. I FEEL YOU ❤‍🩹
