Arduino 9 Axis Motion Shield

Arduino 9 Axis Motion Shield

The Arduino 9 Axes Motion Shield is based on the BNO055 absolute orientation sensor from Bosch Sensortec GmbH, which integrates a three-axis 14-bit accelerometer, a three-axis 16-bit gyroscope with a range of ±2000 degrees per second and a three-axis geomagnetic sensor with a 32-bit microcontroller with the BSX3.0 FusionLib software.

The sensor provides three-dimensional data on acceleration, yaw rate and magnetic field strength, each in 3 vertical axes.
