7Semi BNO086 9-DOF IMU Fusion Breakout Qwiic - SH-2 MotionEngine, I2C/SPI/UART
The 7Semi BNO086 is a high-performance 9-DOF IMU fusion breakout module featuring CEVA’s SH-2 MotionEngine for real-time quaternion, linear acceleration, and angular velocity outputs. It provides flexible I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces for seamless integration into robotics, VR/AR headsets, and wearable systems.
Features
- 9-DOF IMU integrates 3-axis accelerometer (±8g), gyroscope (±2000°/s), and magnetometer.
- Powered by CEVA SH-2 MotionEngine with 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ for real-time sensor fusion.
- Outputs calibrated quaternion, linear acceleration, gravity Vector Technics, and angular velocity.
- Flexible host communication via I2C (up to 400 kb/s), SPI, or UART (SHTP protocol).
- Includes always-on features: step counter, tap detection, stability classifier, and gesture recognition.

The BNO086 is a fully integrated inertial measurement unit that combines a triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope, and geomagnetic sensor with a dedicated 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ processor running CEVA’s SH-2 sensor fusion firmware. This architecture offloads complex motion processing from the host microcontroller, delivering stable, calibrated orientation data in the form of quaternions, along with derived vectors for linear acceleration and gravity.
Its dynamic calibration system continuously compensates for temperature drift and sensor aging, while hard-iron and soft-iron algorithms correct for magnetic distortions. The module supports sensor batching and low-power operation modes, making it suitable for battery-powered IoT and wearable applications requiring high-fidelity motion tracking with minimal host intervention.
