BNO055 Reprogramming (like BMF055)

[jdoose]

Hello,

I am planning to design a minimum flight controller board, and initially was going to utilize the BMF055 as both the onboard sensor package and main microcontroller. However, the BMF055 is obsolete. I noticed in an earlier topic (see: here), that the BNO055 is the same hardware as BMF055, but with premade sensor fusion software. Is it possible to reprogram the BNO055 as it was with the BMF055?

Thank you

Hi jdoose,

Github has the already written BNO055 sensor API, which is easy to integrate into the target platform.

Hello!

This library looks very useful, but is it intended for use on a separate microcontroller to grab data from a BNO055? My hope is to reprogram the BNO055's internal microcontroller, as was possible with the BMF055.

Hi jdoose,

BNO055 sensor API could be migrated to microcontroller.
The fusion algorithm of BNO055 is built-in and does not support reprogramming.
