Overview
The BNO055-SHUTL, produced by Bosch Sensortec, is a shuttle board designed to evaluate the functionalities of the BNO055 Absolute Orientation Sensor. The BNO055 is a System in Package (SiP) that integrates a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a triaxial 16-bit gyroscope, a triaxial geomagnetic sensor, and a 32-bit Cortex M0+ microcontroller running Bosch Sensortec’s sensor fusion software. This integration provides a comprehensive solution for absolute orientation sensing in a single package.
The shuttle board facilitates easy access to the sensor pins via a simple socket and includes components such as the BNO055 smart sensor, a 10-pin SWD connector, and on-board EEPROM. It is designed to be directly plugged into Bosch Sensortec’s application board 3.0 for thorough evaluation of the sensor’s capabilities.
