Product Description: Hillcrest BNO085 Absolute Orientation Sensor System
Recommended for new designs. The BNO085 is backwards compatible to the BNO080 in fit, form, and function; there are no changes required in software or operation of the part for current designs. The BNO085 simply adds a new capability which allows operation with future application specific external software libraries provided by Hillcrest Labs. The first such library provides additional advanced capabilities for use with VR controllers.
The BNO085 is a 9-axis System in Package (SiP) which enables rapid development of sensor-enabled Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Robotics and IoT devices.
It features a high-performance accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope with a low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ MCU in a small package. Hillcrest’s Freespace® sensor hub software pre-integrated on the BNO085 provides exceptional 9-Axis and 6-Axis motion tracking to enable exciting sensor applications in diverse consumer and IoT products.
