SparkFun BNO080 VR IMU Breakout Board

Virtual reality is in, but you shouldn’t have to drop hundreds of dollars to gain access to the technology behind it. Luckily, that’s where the SparkFun VR IMU Breakout comes in. At its heart is Bosch’s BNO080, a combination triple-axis accelerometer/gyro/magnetometer SiP, packaged with a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+.

The BNO080 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) produces accurate rotation vector headings, excellently suited for VR and other heading applications, with a static rotation error of two degrees or less. The BNO080 was designed to be implemented in Android-based cellular phones to handle all the computations necessary for virtual reality goggles using only your phone. The sensor is quite powerful, and with power comes a complex interface.

Features:

1. Embedded temperature sensor
2. Programmable Finite State Machine: accelerometer, gyroscope, and external sensors
3. Significant Motion Detection, Tilt detection

Package Includes:

1 x SparkFun BNO080 VR IMU Breakout Board.
