    Common sensor library

  • There are a few libraries. A popular, easy to use library is the Adafruit Unified Sensor Library collection that exposes an interface for BNO055 and other similar hardware. You can read it as a quaternion format (better for math geeks who like stable orientation) or as a rotation on X/Y/Z axes in either degrees or radians for people who aren't bothered by issues like gimbal lock when you hit a pure up or pure down orientation.

  • InfluxDB
