Featuring Β±0.05Β° accuracy and a simple I2C interface, it accelerates development in robotics, drones, and motion tracking applications with minimal setup and maximum reliability. ## Description The 9 degrees of freedom, abosulte orientation IMU fusion breakout, solves what can be the challenging problem of turning sensor data from an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer into actual 3 dimensional space orientation. The sensor fusion algorithms (the secret sauce that blends accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope data into stable three-axis orientation output) can be mind-numbingly difficult to get right and implement on low cost real time systems. Rather than spending weeks or months fiddling with algorithms of varying accuracy and complexity, you can have meaningful sensor data in minutes thanks to the BNO055 - a smart 9-DOF sensor that does the sensor fusion all on its own. Data is read over I2C. Bosch is the first company to get this right by taking a MEMS accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope and putting them on a single die with a high speed ARM Cortex-M0 based processor to digest all the sensor data, abstract the sensor fusion and real t ## Features - Meaningful sensor data in minutes with Bosch's smart BNO055 smart 9-ODF sensor - Data output over I2C - Absolute orientation, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field strength, linear acceleration, gravity, temperature - Easy to use Adafruit tutorials - Easy soldering of header pins required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017PEIGIG | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,501 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,758 in In-Ear Headphones | | Brand | Adafruit | | Brand Name | Adafruit | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04060137032646 | | Item Dimensions | 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimeters | | Item weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Adafruit | | Material | Composite | | Material Type | Composite | | Maximum Supply Voltage | 3.3 Volts (DC) | | Maximum supply voltage | 3.3 Volts (DC) | | Measurement Accuracy | Β±0.05Β° | | Measuring Range | up to Β±10 m/s^2 | | Model | BNO055 | | Mounting Type | Surface Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Output Type | Digital | | Part Number | 2472 | | Specific Uses For Product | Robotics, drone navigation, motion tracking | | Style | Lagesensor | | Style Name | Lagesensor | | UPC | 604310746278 743724368543 717520028796 748347529234 618996990092 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 85 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Adafruit - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.6 x 5.1 x 2.5 centimeters - **Item weight:** 9 g - **Material:** Composite - **Style:** Lagesensor ## Images ![9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout - BNO055 [ADA2472] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qEXrfKgTL.jpg) ## 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Adafruit 9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout - BNO055 - Arduino Nano [A000005] – Compact ATmega328P Microcontroller with 22 Digital I/O Pins, 8 Analog Inputs, USB Connectivity, and Arduino IDE Compatibility for Prototyping and DIY Projects - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/279642028-9-dof-absolute-orientation-imu-fusion-breakout-bno055-ada2472](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/279642028-9-dof-absolute-orientation-imu-fusion-breakout-bno055-ada2472) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
