Frequently Asked Questions

What Microchip Technology Xplained Pro boards are compatible with this BNO055 expansion kit?

The BNO055 Xplained Pro kit is designed for compatibility with any Microchip Technology Xplained Pro evaluation kit featuring standard extension headers. This includes popular boards like the SAMD21 Xplained Pro, SAM E70 Xplained Pro, and other ARM Cortex-M based Xplained Pro devices, leveraging their common I2C bus for sensor communication.

How does the Bosch BNO055 sensor provide 9-axis absolute orientation?

The BNO055 integrates a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer. It performs internal sensor fusion algorithms to provide compensated orientation data, including Euler angles, quaternions, and linear acceleration, offloading computational burden from the host microcontroller, resulting in precise absolute orientation.

What communication interface does the BNO055 Xplained Pro use, and what is its supply voltage?

The BNO055 Xplained Pro communicates with the host Xplained Pro evaluation kit via the I2C serial interface. It typically operates from the 3.3V power supply provided by the Xplained Pro baseboard, ensuring direct compatibility and easy power integration without external regulators for the sensor.

Can I use the BNO055 Xplained Pro with non-Microchip Technology development boards?

While physically designed for Xplained Pro headers, the BNO055 sensor itself communicates via I2C, a common protocol. With proper wiring and an appropriate library, it could technically interface with other I2C-capable microcontrollers. However, the kit's form factor and pinout are optimized for the Xplained Pro ecosystem.
