Hi o_o, So we are looking at staying within 20 degrees (all axes) over a 12 hour period. And after various hours of runtime the magnetic calibration is seen to drop from 3 to 0 with no noticeable changes to the device's surroundings (it is left in a lab overnight). Would we notice any changes in the gyro's calibration status after some time running in IMU mode? Would it be possible to monitor this bit and treat data accordingly? We do have access to GPS however the device remains fixed in a stationary position and so I don't believe it would be a usable alternative. ... View more

Hi o_o, Is it necessary to re-calibrate the BNO055 each time the device is powered off and on again? Every time it is placed in a new operating environment? As this is something that isn't very feasible, would an alternative mode such as IMU be acceptable as we are only monitoring relative changes in angles? ... View more

Also o_o, sorry I had not replied for a while either. I had not checked back into the forums for a few days. ... View more

Thanks o_o, We'll take this into account and be sure to eliminate any external sources when these issues come up. However, these two sensors/boards were placed in the exact same environment, side-by-side in fact, while the test was run so I'm not sure it is as black and white as it may appear. Further digging required on our end.. Regards, Joshld. ... View more
