ADAFRUIT 9-DOF ORIENTATION IMU FUSION BREAKOUT - BNO085 (BNO080) - STEMMA QT / QWIIC, ADAFRUIT 4754

Adafruit 9-DOF Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout – BNO085 (BNO080) – STEMMA QT / Qwiic 

The Adafruit 9-DOF Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout (SKU 4754) is a high-performance motion sensing and orientation module designed to provide accurate, ready-to-use orientation data without requiring complex sensor fusion programming. Built around the BNO085 sensor, this compact breakout board combines a 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer with an onboard microcontroller running advanced fusion algorithms.

Key Features

• Plug-and-play orientation solution: the BNO085 integrates accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensors with built-in fusion firmware to deliver stable and precise orientation readings.

• STEMMA QT / Qwiic compatible: includes a 4-pin JST SH connector for easy solderless connection to compatible microcontrollers and breakout systems.

• Standard 2.54 mm pitch header pins for breadboard and custom board integration.

• Motion detection and activity recognition features such as stability detection, tap detection, step counting, and shake recognition.

• Operates over I2C or UART, providing flexibility for integration into various projects.

• Compact design with mounting holes for secure installation.

Typical Applications

• Robotics and drones requiring precise motion tracking and orientation data

• Virtual or augmented reality systems needing reliable 3D orientation

• Wearables, motion-based controllers, and gesture recognition systems

• Educational or research projects exploring IMU technology and sensor fusion
