Cool! That would definitely be a huge time saver if it works properly. How has the project come along so far? Do you have any pictures to share?
I’m also curious how responsive the chip is, and if it can refresh often without corrupting it’s data output? High quality, all in one gyro/accelerometers are definitely gonna be needed in the future of robotics and so I’m gonna have to check out the documentation for this sensor before I start my next project.
My last iteration was actually with a Arduino Nano rp2040 which acc/gyro on the board and I spent way too long to try to align them properly (it’s too bad the board had all I needed on one PCB) now I’m back tracking to the BNO sensor. It’s pretty fast and simply sends 3 coordinate values at each cycle. So you just have to check for fresh values and read them at each loop. The board basically has its own MCU on BNO board for the math so it never saturates your clock cycle.
