Super interesting, I was just looking for a solution to finding the heading of an object with out killing the MCU with the math. I wish you would have reviewed the data coming out of it a bit - just to see how you used it in the code.
I am using it in ROS and wrote a ROS package two nodes: One to set up and save and/or reload calibration data. Wrote in a bit of a hurry and they could use some extra features but they work. If you're not using ROS they should give you a decent idea of how to work with the BN0055 in serial mode. github.com/lbrombach/bn0055_fusion_imu
I haven't had time to really test it out long term...I'd expect some drift over time in the accelerometer and gyro fusion mode, but I bet the magnetometer would really help minimize that if you're operating in an area where you can leave it on without negative effects.
I have heard positive things - namely that it may be more vibration resistant than the 55. I haven't noticed any issues with the 55 and vibrations but perhaps in an application like a drone or wearable it would matter more? I haven't used it myself and I'm not certain if the 55 software is compatible. Have you used it? If you do can you let me know if it has the same interface and the software is the compatible? (based on a quick look I don't think it will be) And let me know your impression of it - like accuracy and reliability, etc. Thanks!
finally a sensor that helps you build robots faster, certainly a game changer for hobbyists
Thanks on the giveaway, Looks good for a robotic lawn mower.

Awesome - thanks for posting vids !
awesome... looking forward to more content ( and my free bn0055 :P )
I'll see what I can do! ;)
interesting! Have you tried to use it for any long period of time ? I would be interested to know if the corrected data end up slowly drifting .

Awesome. I've wanted to play with something like that.
Very Helpful information
Glad you think so!
Awesome!
Nice video! The bno055 is missing on my robot! 🤖
This sensor looks like it would be great for a drone!
what about bno080?

I'd like to win :)
