Product Overview

The BNO055 is a System in Package (SiP), integrating a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a triaxial

16-bit gyroscope with a range of ±2000 degrees per second, a triaxial geomagnetic sensor

and a 32-bit cortex M0+ microcontroller running Bosch Sensortec sensor fusion software, in

a single package.

The corresponding chip-sets are integrated into one single 28-pin LGA 3.8mm x 5.2mm x

1.1 mm housing. For optimum system integration the BNO055 is equipped with digital bidirectional I2C and UART interfaces. The I2C interface can be programmed to run with the

HID-I2C protocol turning the BNO055 into a plug-and-play sensor hub solution for devices

running the Windows 8.0 or 8.1 operating system.

This blog will introduce BNO055 systematically from its features, pinout to its specifications, applications, also including BNO055 datasheet and so much more.
