## Questions & Answers

**Q: As i understand, this sensor is good for orientation. but is also better for 3d position calculation, then the cheaper imus?**
A: The linear acceleration comes only relative to the Chip's coordinate frame. Getting absolute "earth-frame" acceleration requires 3D vector rotations (Adafruit might do this, but I did my own). Regardless, double integrating acceleration to get position has a lot of drift error. The fusion acceleration data (gravity removed) only updates at 100Hz. I tried integrating at 60Hz with no filtering and picking the chip up off the table caused a velocity drift of ~1m/s. Unusable! Getting accurate *position* readings for any IMU is an incredibly intricate science regardless of the IMU capabilities.

**Q: Does anybody know about the effect of vibrations on this sensor?**
A: This device is usually used in fusion modes which filter out noise, including vibration, to a significant degree in order to calculate absolute orientation and direction. You can access the sensors in raw mode to fully expose the vibration. The Adafruit website has example code and a link to the Bosh BNO055 data sheet.

**Q: Angular Orientation? 
Does this chip allow me to get an angular orientation? Will it produce a live angle reading?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is it possible to connect this through USB to my computer?**
A: Not directly.  You would need to connect it to something like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and write code for those processors to get the data into your PC.
