BNO055 USB Stick (USB 3), APIs

[vijuchac]

Have a basic question, Is there API's in Python, C or Java API for BNO055 USB Stick (USB 3). 

[handytech · Accepted solution]

Please note that the BNO055 USB Stick was designed as an evaluation tool rather than a development platform. Therefore programming tools are very limited for this device.

Unfortunately COINES do not yet support the BNO055 USB Stick. On the other hand it is supported by Development Desktop 2.0, hence its GenericAPI will also support the BNO055 USB Stick.

The GenericAPI can be found by default under "C:\Program Files\Bosch Sensortec\Development Desktop 2.0\UserpApplicationBoard".

Unlike the ApplicationBoard2.0, the BNO055 USB Stick only supports a limited set of features, mainly the manual Read and Write functions. Attached is an example of Python script that connects to the BNO055 USB Stick, then shows how to Read and Write data from and to the BNO055. You will need to write your own custom functions/wrappers for mode advanced configuration of or communication with the sensor.

Is this planned to happen at some time? Can you give an ETA? Thanks

BNO055 USB stick support is COINES is not planned at the moment. Effort is concentrated on Application board 3.0 for release later this year, which will be much smaller than the current Application board 2.0
