Description

The Bosch BNO055 is a complete inertial measurement unit (IMU) that fuses raw data from its triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer using an embedded 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller. The proprietary BSX3.0 FusionLib software performs sensor calibration, compensation for hard/soft iron effects, and dynamic motion processing to output stable quaternion, Euler angle, and linear acceleration vectors without requiring external processing.

This sensor’s System-in-Package (SiP) architecture encapsulates the MEMS sensors, microcontroller, and firmware in a single 3.8×3.8×1.1 mm LGA package, minimizing board space and electromagnetic interference. It is designed for applications demanding precise spatial orientation and context awareness, such as robotic navigation, augmented reality headsets, and UAV stabilization systems, across an extended industrial temperature range.

Key Features

  • Intelligent 9-axis absolute orientation sensor with integrated sensor fusion
  • High-resolution sensing: 14-bit accelerometer (±2g to ±16g) and 16-bit gyroscope (±125dps to ±2000dps)
  • Onboard microcontroller executes BSX3.0 algorithm for calibrated, ready-to-use orientation data
  • Low-power operation with configurable power modes to optimize for performance or battery life
  • Compact 3.8 x 3.8 x 1.1 mm LGA package for space-constrained PCB designs
  • Robust performance across a wide -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range
  • Simplifies system design by eliminating complex multi-vendor sensor alignment and calibration

Applications

  • Robotic navigation and stabilization systems for autonomous vehicles and drones
  • Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) headset orientation tracking
  • Gaming controller and motion remote spatial input and gesture recognition
  • Industrial equipment monitoring for tilt, vibration, and inertial measurement
  • IoT devices requiring context-aware motion and heading data

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Bosch BNO055 sensor?

The Bosch BNO055 requires a supply voltage between 2.4V and 3.6V DC. It is critical to stay within this range to ensure proper operation of the integrated microcontroller and MEMS sensors. Typical supply current is 12.3 mA during full operation.

What communication interfaces does the BNO055 support?

The BNO055 supports two primary digital communication interfaces: I2C (up to 400 kHz clock frequency) and UART (configurable baud rate). The interface is selected via a configuration pin (COM3). The I2C interface is commonly used with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32.

Does the BNO055 require external calibration or sensor fusion software?

No, the BNO055 performs all sensor fusion and calibration internally using its onboard 32-bit microcontroller and the Bosch BSX3.0 library. It outputs fully calibrated absolute orientation data (quaternions, Euler angles) directly, eliminating the need for complex external algorithm development.

What is the difference between the BNO055 and a basic 6-axis IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope)?

Unlike a basic 6-axis IMU, the BNO055 includes a 3-axis magnetometer, enabling it to determine absolute heading (yaw) relative to Earth's magnetic north. More importantly, its integrated fusion software combines all nine axes to provide stable, drift-corrected orientation without requiring the host processor to run complex fusion algorithms.
