BNO055 Module
The BNO055 is a 9-axis absolute orientation sensor from Bosch (accelerometer + gyroscope + magnetometer) with on-board sensor fusion. This breakout makes it easy to integrate, offering:
- A Qwiic-compatible connector for I²C at up to 400 kHz
- Standard 2.54 mm header breakouts
- A DIP-switch to select I²C or UART mode
- SWD pads for programming/debugging
- Boot indicator LED and pins for RESET, BOOT and INT
