With a little bit of desoldering wick and flux you can desolder one of the config jumpers on the board and convert the module to UART serial.
Good luck and happy hacking.

GY-BNO055 (DX/Banggood/Aliexpress) conversion to serial
The GY-BNO055 sensor board from China ships jumpered for i2c on 0x29. And that's great unless you have a raspberry pi and i2c clock stretching is causing you all kinds of problems.

Hi what pinout did you use to get uart to work? VDD/GND/Rx/Tx/RST ? also did it work with adafruit library or some other one? not sure if my pi uart config or gy-bno055 config is wrong, but all i get is timeout.
ReplyDeleteMarek - I did get it working. You only need 3.3V, GND, TX and RX. The hard part is getting uart on the PI setup and working. I ended up using a USB->UART adapter connected to the bno055 and then just pointing the Adafruit Lib to /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatever.
ReplyDeleteThat help?
