here a brief status update:<br class="">
<br class="">
* components have all arrived, except one<br class="">
* the one is a new one which IMHO compensates for waiting some more days!<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks to generous support by Bosch Sensortec we got an option to buy the<br class="">
BNO055 intelligent 9-axis Absolute Orientation Sensor, which includes sensors<br class="">
and sensor fusion in a single package. It combines an accelerometer (position),<br class="">
gyroscope (rotation speed) and compass (absolute position) and a microcontroller<br class="">
in a single package. All data can be read through I2C.<br class="">
<br class="">
So this means we directly get the orientation data e.g. for Replicant games and<br class="">
augmented reality (which needs a working camera...) right from this chip and do<br class="">
not need to run complex algorithms on our own.<br class="">
<br class="">

<br class="">
This chip will be installed in addition to the BMC150 and BMG160 (because we<br class="">
already have bought them). And, the BME280.<br class="">
<br class="">
We have already tested this chip on a Pyra handheld prototype mainboard which<br class="">
also has place for it and we have got someone who has written a first kernel driver:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/work/test/bno055" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://git.goldelico.com/?p=<wbr class="">gta04-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=<wbr class="">refs/heads/work/test/bno055</a><br class="">
<br class="">
It is not perfect yet, but shows that the sensor will work.<br class="">
<br class="">
All this mens that thanks to Bosch support, we will very soon have a very modern<br class="">
orientation sensor in our open smartphone platform.<br class="">
