BHI160B orientation data without Magneto

[Gideon]

Dear,

I am trying to get orientation data from BHI160B using "Bosch_PCB_7183_di03_BMI160-7183_di03.2.1.11696_170103.fw".(without magneto)

However, I cannot enable "VS_ID_ORIENTATION" as explained at "https://community.bosch-sensortec.com/t5/MEMS-sensors-forum/BHI160-Degrees-from-quaternion-x-y-z-w/m..." in "Development Desktop2.0"

Is there any way to enable the ORIENTATION without Magneto? I can only enable the ORIENTATION when I use "Bosch_PCB_7183_di03_BMI160_BMM150-7183_di03.2.1.11696_170103.fw".

Please, help.

Orientation sensor needs NDoF fusion which rely on the magnetic sensor data.

If you only have IMU in the system and download the FW without BMM150 supported,  you can try with game rotation virtual sensor which sensor id is "VS_TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR"
