Introduction

A simple helper library for using the UART-RVC mode of the BNO08x IMUs

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bno08x-rvc

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bno08x-rvc

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bno08x-rvc

Usage Example

import time
import board
import busio
from adafruit_bno08x_rvc import BNO08x_RVC

uart = busio.UART(board.TX, board.RX, baudrate=115200, receiver_buffer_size=2048)
rvc = BNO08x_RVC(uart)
while True:
    roll, pitch, yaw, x_accel, y_accel, z_accel = rvc.heading
    print("Roll: %2.2f Pitch: %2.2f Yaw: %2.2f Degrees" % (roll, pitch, yaw))
    print("Acceleration X: %2.2f Y: %2.2f Z: %2.2f m/s^2" % (x_accel, y_accel, z_accel))
    print("")
    time.sleep(0.1)
