    BNO055 Yaw reading 0 or 360 degrees

    BNO055 Yaw reading 0 or 360 degrees

    BNO055 (version 3.11)
    IMU fusion mode, relative orientation (IMUPLUS)
    Using Euler angles output in degrees for roll,pitch & yaw

    At power-on the BNO055 in the IMU fusion mode 'IMUPLUS' the yaw reads 0 degrees.
    If the unit is rotated clockwise so that the yaw goes through 360 degress back to the start position would you expect the IMU to report 0 or 360 degrees?

    Hi Sir:

        I didn't get your point, could you share more information about your inquiry?

    Hi Jet,

    Thank you for your response and I apologise that my question was not clear. 

    The data sheet says that the range for yaw is 0 to 360 degrees which means that there are 361 possible values.

    As the value of 0degrees is the given heading at power-on there would seem to be an extra degree in a single rotation if 360 is a valid value.

    My question was just to ask for clarity on the range of the yaw value around this point.

    Regards,

    Hi Sir:

       Actually 0 degree and 360 degree are the same meaning.

       If you check your code, you can know that maximum output angle value only reach 359.9 degree. In order to show the range for yaw, we can say 0 to 360 degree, not say 0 to 359.9.
