    BNO055 overrun error when using serial

    BNO055 overrun error when using serial

    Hi,

    I am currently using the BNO055 in fusion mode using the serial port interface on a custom board. I need to get as many measurement as possible per seconds. Currently, I am receiving a lot of overrun error as a response when I send a command to the BNO055.

    I implement a retry mecanism by waiting 100 ms to let the message timeout delay. It works, but I don't get enough data. 

    Any way to reduce the number of overrun error?

    Any ideas to get better throughput?

    Is there a firmware update available?

    What should be the firmware version (I get 0x311)?

    Thanks for your support

    Regards

    BNO055 only supports 100Hz ODR as  maximum.

    So you can pull sensor data every 10ms. 

    Do you still have a lot of over run if you pulling sensor data with 10ms interval?

    Hi,

    In average, I can get arround 3-4 sample per seconds if at each iteration I try to read the 9 axis value (xyz magnetometer, xyz accelerometer, xyz gyroscope). The number of sample/seconds is not constant, sometimes I can get 6 samples per seconds and sometimes 1 samples. This is mainly due to the buffer overrun issue and the number of retries I need to do to get a correct answer.

    In all those cases, I am not getting near the 10ms sampling rate.

    Let me know if you need more details.

    Regards
