Description

This Shield was developed by Arduino together with Bosch, it is based on the BNO055 absolute orientation sensor. The latter incorporates an accelerometer 3 axes 14 bits, a gyroscope 3 axes 16 bits with a span ±2000 ° / S, a magnetic sensor 3-axis and a microcontroller 32 bit running software BSX3.0 FusionLib.

This sensor allows so action on the 3 axes: acceleration, yaw rate and the intensity of the magnetic field.

It provides also the signals calculated by the software BSX3.0 FusionLib:

• Quaternion
• Euler angles
• Vector of rotation
• Linear acceleration
• Gravity vector

In addition, it has a smart break engine that allows to trigger alarms on:

Slow motion detection or lack of movement.
Movement detection (slope)
Detection of high acceleration

Features

• Operating voltage: 5V
• Consumption: 50mW
• compatible with cards, Uno, Yun, Leonardo, Ethernet, Mega and Due by weldable jumper (see documentation)
