Hi Teach!! Received my IMU a while ago and started with the lessons. To answer the questions given as part of the homework, the following are my observations: 1) The data in any of the axes change only when the Sensor is moved and then it returns to its pre-movement level, even though it is in the new position. The reason being that we are measuring the acceleration which is the change in speed and not the position and hence the change visualized only so long as the Sensor moves. 2) MORE IMPORTANTLY, while the data in the X and Y Axes are closer to Zero, the one in the Z Axis is a larger number, in close proximity to about 9.4 This figure is actually the G_Force or the acceleration due to gravity that is constantly acting on the Sensor, though it is static. In fact it is so exciting to note that this figure is close to the figure of 9.8 m/s2, which is the value of G mentioned in standard Physics textbooks. Hope this is the answer you were looking for!! Regards!

This is so exciting. I will get my Nano & BNO055 in 3 or 4 days. XYZ is very cool to learn. BNO055 is a combined inertial measurement unit (IMU) and processor, 🥳 Thank you.
@aatt3209
For those of who got "-1" for temp reading, please recheck your soldering. This fixed my problem. Run file>example>Adafruit BNO055>sensorapi to check if IMU sensor is working properly. Open "Serial Monitor" to display message & data. (Credit to "Automatic Addison").
@LeagueboundMP
Lots of information and I’m a novice to coding and physics but this journey is awesome.
@sgd8376
My IMU is displaying all 0s. I checked the wiring and code. Everything seems to check out. Any ideas what went wrong?
@gowbie
this tutorial is awesome, thanks Paul and love the manner of presentation!
@Xxswat27xX
For anyone who was struggling with always getting -1 for temperature: not all boards designate A4 and A5 for SDA/SLC... Make sure that there aren't other slots labeled specifically "SDA/SLC". If there are, use those. If not, look up the specs for whatever board you are using to see what the default SDA/SLC pin slots are.

I have been looking for a perfect arduino tutorial that use simple English cause i am not that good and also very detail in explanation.Then I found u.Thanks alot.
@Mystic0Dreamer
BOOM! I got this up and running tonight. It works perfectly. I'm using an STM32 microcontroller instead of a nano, but I did buy the Adafruit BNO055 IMU you linked to though. I was very happy to see everything working right out of the gate. Especially since I accidentally wired the Vcc up to the Vout pin on the IMU. I turned it on before I discovered this mistake and was afraid that I might have damaged the $30 board. But fortunately no harm was done. So I'm finally underway on this course as well. All the data is coming in just fine.
@LordSerious737
OMG finding You and this material now its such a fun!
@michelfeuiltault4013
great intro that drives my curiosity. Hope I will be able to follow you on this journey
@Bob-zg2zf
I forgot to comment on your soldering points on the IMU module. They look just right. Not too much solder used, nor insufficient. Well done. p.s. My 1st PCB project is done with a success. It took me 6 months! It's an STM33 board blinking an onboard LED, with a onboard circuit of USB-TTL.
@opalprestonshirley1700
Oh yeah this works very well that is a lot of data. This is great, you see the data change as you change orientation. Looking for to the next lesson. Thanks Paul.
@aklmini-makers4304
Hi from New Zealand. Project parts have arrived! I can start. Hey Paul, this would be perfect for a stabilised camera gimbal [kids in my workshops are building a 1.8m wingspan drone]. Will keep you posted on progress. Big shout-out to anyone else in Auckland, NZ.
@alanj554
Just got all my stuff for this project and soldered my headers on so I am ready to go :)
@daviddoidge1252
wow....will need to watch this one a couple of times to grasp everything (lots of new commands etc).... great video as always
@ahopefiend1867
This is all I get from the Serial Monitor: -0.01,-0.01,-0.01,-0.06,-0.06,-0.06,-0.06,-0.06,-0.06, It doesn't change even if I move it. Is mine defective or is it because I didn't solder it. I thought contact was enough.
@dragondodger8322
Works great Paul. very interesting turning of various outputs to isolate particular axis info.
@peterdilworth2316
Great series, thank you so much!!
