I was setting it up on rotary stage with stepper motors. ICM-20948 seem to be more susceptible to vibrations (which were induced by micro-stepping PWM modulation from stepper motor driver). These were like audible vibrations from stepper coils. While the motor was not actually rotating (just holding its position). BNO was sitting still, while ICM was drifting away quite fast (like a one degree per second). This may give a hint on how smart the sensor fusion logic is in each device. ICM-20948 probably relies a lot more on gyro/acc when it is in motion. And only pulls in magnetometer and adjusts itself when everything gets into dead stop. While BNO behaved slightly smarter (filters-out gyro drift by observing fixed magnetometer data). BUT this is just a preliminary conclusion. Because there is not enough data to judge that BNO indeed superior device. I did not do any tests in wide range of vibration frequencies. Maybe ICM by its internal MEMS mechanics was just unlucky enough to get into some resonance with a PWM frequency of current on motor coils. Unfortunately, due to crazy deadlines at my work, I don't have time lately to move on with the project and do more considerable test videos.
Congratulations for the videos and progress so far. I'm working in a project and would like to request some advice. I'm using an MPU9250 to build a VR tracker and I'm going to substitute it. I'm having a hard time choosing between both IMUs that you presented on the video. I hope you can help me choose by answering a few questions. How long the ICM takes after first callibration is stored in the MCU flash to load the firmware and get ready to run? Which documentation was easier to undertand? How long did you spent porting the drivers to a specific MCU?
Performance-wise they both seem identical to me. So I would base my choice on electrical design simplicity. If your main host MCU design is low-voltage/low-powrer 1.8V - go with ICM 20984. If it is 3.3V I/O - BNO085 would be a better choice. Driver/SDK is much more better documented in case of BNO085. And code quality-wise it also looks nice. And all the functions actually work. However their SH2 driver framework seem a bit of overhead complexity. ICM (20948 specifically) does not work with 3.3V IO, so you need level converter if your main MCU is 3.3V. ICM driver SDK has terrible implementation quality. And documentation is pretty much non-existent. While the ecosystem of ICM SDK looks simpler than BNO SH2, it took me a 10x more time of tinkering with it to make ICM working. Also I like BNO more due to the fact that you don't need to reload internal driver firmware image on every startup. It is stored in internal flash memory of the BNO as well as calibration settings (so you don't need to bother of storing calibration in host MCU and reload them on startup of ICM 20948) Calibration less dependnds on time, it's about collecting enough data to get all offset trims on all axes of accelerometer and magnetometer iron matrices. So it is more of like a 1 min procedure that needs to be implemented on host MCU. Where user is asked to to turn on the device and rotate it few times 360 degrees in all orientations.
@@alexm7056 Thank you for the response. I think the BNO is better for our situation. After the first callibration, when I turn on the device, the starting orientation is what is shown on this video, right? So whichever component I choose, I still need a few movements to recalibrate it?
@@pauloamaral5290 if you already had it calibrated before and had calibration settings saved, next time you turn it ON the device will show correct absolute orientation (no additional calibration movement needed). But both devices run "on the fly" calibration in background. The more you move it - more accurate it becomes. The calibration settings are updated in internal memory automatically. That is to adapt to changing environment ( so it stays more accurate). So it is reasonable to re-save new values of calibration settings once in while (e.g. - before powercycle, or specifically if the device is moved to another room or geographical location, since iron/geomagnetic environment may drastically change)
@@alexm7056 I'm also deciding between the MCU that I'm going to use. It will be either an ESP32 with IDF or a STM32WB. In the previous videos I noticed that you are using a ST microcontroller. Was it too difficult to port the drivers to the STM?
@@pauloamaral5290 BNO085 has already STM32 examples on gitlab (github.com/hcrest, even for both FreeRTOS and while(true){} loop). So nothing to port in this case, just hookup the code to your application. ESP32 however has a good IoT/WiFi ecosystem with ton of different libs already available on the web, while STM32WB is relatively new product. So if WiFi/Internet connectivity is a priority - I would go with ESP. If you need just Bluetooth - than it does not really matter, BT is simple thing to use and STM32WB might be just quicker time-to-market option. I love STM32 because CubeMX - much quicker to setup all the peripherals you need than using typical SDK code packages provided traditionally by other manufacturers.
Hi Alex I build a BNO055 into a kart. But when restarting the calibration is lost. And I cannot swing the car around😙So with the BNO085 it recalibrate itself after restart?
BNO055 and BNO085 are the same thing (as a hardware), but using different sensor fusion firmwares inside . You have to explicitly call driver function store the calibration settings in flash and maybe a function to load them at startup.
Hi Alex, great work! Small question - do you know / have references to which registers/area spaces of the ICM20948 DMP memory space you need to store and load in order to preserve calibration data?
There is no non-volatile memory in ICM20948. Which mean everything lost on restart (power cycle). With ICM20948 you store its settings in flash memory on the host controller (the one to which you connect ICM20948). While primary difference of BNO085 is that it has internal flash memory, so you simply call an API function (sh2_saveDcdNow) to snapshot current setting and they will be loaded at next startup automatically.
@@alexm7056 Hi Alex, thanks for the prompt response. Yes I know the ICM lacks NVM. I actually have an external flash I want to use, but I'm wondering which registers I need to record. Currently I'm only restoring the 3 offset registers and it seems to do something, but from previous experience I expected to store at least 6 if not 9 calibration variables. Can you point me as to which data needs to be saved (probably DMP registers?).
@@orrsrour7428 oh, I am sorry, I got your question wrong than. So I do 3 separate inv_icm20948_get_bias(...) calls for 3 separate sensors: INV_ICM20948_SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER, INV_ICM20948_SENSOR_GYROSCOPE and INV_ICM20948_SENSOR_GEOMAGNETIC_FIELD. Each of them returns array three int32 elements. Since I've used SDK I don't know the actual registers, but to identify them you can just go through SDK source code of the inv_icm20948_get_bias(...) method call stack.
@@alexm7056 many thanks! I still wonder how come they need only 3 variables for the mag calibration (rather than offset + gain per axis), but I guess they know what they're doing much better than me :).
@@orrsrour7428 as for gain - try look though other API calls in the same .h file as the method I've mentioned above. Please, let me know if you find something that will bring you better startup performance. I've seen some API related to iron matrixes but did not succeed using them. In my case IMUs are just a fraction of much more complex DIY project I am trying to accomplish, so I've only invested just enough time to get them "kinda working". Optimizing them to the top performance is not my priority at the moment, as well as making follow up youtube videos.
Hi Alex, nice job. I am trying to get the ICM-20948 calibrated for a project I'm working on, but mine does not seem to self calibrate. What output values are you reading from the DMP for the input to your software? I am currently reading the orientation output but it is not accurate at all for me, doing a 360 of the device leaves me 70 degrees off from what I started at. Do you run the self test on the DMP before you do anything ? What DMP firmware are you running on the ICM? I got mine from the 'eMD-SmartMotion-ICM20948-1.1.0-MP' package. Maybe you could upload it to git so I could take a look, would be much appreciated.
I have just switched to the 6 axis data instead of the 9 axis (including magnetometer) and my data looks a lot better now. Are you using the QUAT9 or QUAT6 data?
Hi Alex, I am doing a school project about IMU sensor. Your solution is impressive that it could do self calibration. I was trying to do that but I have no clue. I am using ESP32 and ICM20948, and using madgwick filter to get quaternion. It is quite good if the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer are calibrated, which the process is so difficult to achieve a good calibration. May I ask that how your self calibration algroithm is working? Is it because you have multiple IMU in a single system so they could help to calibrate each other? Thank you so much.
The whole point of this demonstration is that with BNO085 or ICM20948 you don't need to implement an algorithm (like Madgwick) on your host controller. Because these IMUs have built ARM microcontroller with fusion algorithm supplied from manufacturers. In other words - if properly configured they spit out quaternion to you right there over SPI or I2C. All I do here - is describing differences between parts from two different manufacturers (Hilcrest Labs and TDK Invensense, to be said - Hilcrest Labs BNO085 is actually Bosch BNO055 sensor with HilcrestLabs firmware)
@@alexm7056 Thank you so much. Since I am using micropython for the development, I cannot really touch the dmp in icm20948. It is so hard to implement. I am still working on it. With esp32 for the wifi stuff and data fusion, with no dmp processing, I could get arround 100hz data. In the other hand, I just got a BNO085. I also do the development in micropython. I just write a simple lib to get the data from the bno085 mcu, but the perfermance is poor. I could get just quat arround 50hz. If I am getting acc, gyro, mag, quat all together, I could only get arround 30hz. Do you have the same problem? or it is a problem from my implementation? Thank you.
@@hcklawrence I did not try to run BNO085 beyond 50 Hz, it is also crunching everything with its internal internal DMP without any fusion cod implemented on my side. So far to me it works better than ICM. It is easier to initialize internal DMP in BNO085 since you don't need to reload DMP firmware on every startup (it is stored in internal flash memory of the BNO085). For your scenario where you do processing on your side - the SPI speed of BNO is twice slower (3MHz vs 7Mhz), I did not compare the size of data packets running over SPI though.
IMU device calibrates itself all the time. On Invensense you have to read these settings when you consider the device have been rotated enough in all directions and save them into flash memory. Then load them into IMU on next startup. On Invensense driver these are inv_icm20948_get_bias and inv_icm20948_set_bias functions. BNO device has its own non-volatile memory, so you can call sh2_saveDcdNow function to make it remember the settings (it will re-apply them on power-cycle) and sh2_clearDcdAndReset to clean them up (when you want to re-calibrate the device from its factory settings).
@@alexm7056 мой вопрос возник откуда, на BNO055 после калибрации нужно было гдето сохронять offset данные в ручную и потом применять их(все в ручную).

@@emmetray9703К сожелению на все эти вопросы я ответов ужене знаю, этим проектом уже давно не занимался и много чего подзабыл. В моем коде статической калибровкой (если там и есть такая) не пользовался. "Динамическая" скорее всего иммется ввиду что фюжен-фильтр сам себя каллибрирует когда видит разницу в показателях от разных сенсоров в рантайме (например по гироскопу видим поворот на 90 градусов, а по компасу на 45, значит компас сбит). Насчет того насколько сам модуль уверен в калибровке - я бы этому параметру не доверял. Даже перемещение модуля между включениями в другю комнату может сбить калибровку компаса, так как рябом может изменится кол-во металическиг предметов (напрмер жестяная плита на кухне или стол с метлическими ножками может повлять на показатели если все очень близко).Жалетельно процедуру калибровки встроить в интерфейс прибора по месту его использования.
Я не маркетолог в рынке электронных компонент, все зависит от целей использования. Эти конкретные компоненты расчитаны на рынок бытового ширпортеба. И каких то сверхточных характеристик ожиджать от них не стоит. Я уже много раз давал ответы другим ребятам в коментриях о некторых принцыпиальных отличиях этих МЕМС приборов в плане электосхемотехники. BNO085 легче вмонтировать для цепей с шиной питания 3.3В, а ТДК 20948 уже очень заточен под низкое энергопотрбление и требует 1.8В шину для питания логики. В то же время - линейка ТДК имеет набор других более узкоспециализорованных приборов, например 6-ти осевые где присутствуют только акселерометр и гироскоп, и они нормально запитываются от 3.3В. BNO085 имеет внутреннюю флеш память в которой хзранится прошивка с DSP алгоритмами, а также позволяет сохранять настройки калибровки автоматически. ТДК своей флеш памяти не имеет (у него только SRAM), прошивку нужно хранить на внешнем устройстве (хост-контроллере или СД-карте) и вгружкать каждый раз при подачи питания. Т.е. какбы BNO в этом плане лучше будет, меньше телодвижений с написаним кода для финального продукта. Но BNO на 30% дороже. Отсюда вывод - топ определяется рынком того где именно используется финальный продукт. Скажем если это короткая серия какого либо устройства для узкоспециализированного использования без требований низкого энергоптрбления то BNO выигрывает за счет более коротких сроков интеграциии, меньших затрат на разроботку. А вот ТДК будет выгоднее для устройств которые идут на массовый рынок (например мобильные телефоны). Рыннок хобби квадкоптеров и прочих радиоигрушек тоже повально использует продукты ТДК. Они дешевле. Но в этом конретном случае (платы полетных контроллеров для дронов) нет проблем с 1.8В шиной, так как так как там обычно испольуется только 6-ти осевой вариант (акселерометр+гироскоп) который нормально работает от 3.3В.

It is not an R PI (and I actually don't have any in my workshop), that is the custom board I made for one of hobby projects based on STM32. I've used SPI connection and diagrams are in DataSheet of BNO085, the only thing is the protocol is a bit awkward. Uses dedicated WakeUp line additional to traditional set of 4 wire SPI (nCS, SCK, MISO and MOSI)

The software to view 3D rotations is a tool I developed to debug hardware project I am working on, it was written with Angular and Three.js. The internal algorithms of IMUs run calibration in background as soon as you power them up. The more you move it - the more it gets calibrated, they periodically adjust calibration params to better fit surrounding environment. That is what demonstrated in the video. BNO085 can store calibration settings in internal flash memory and they will be loaded automatically on next startup. ICM20948 does not have non-volitile memory, so every time you power it up there is a procedure to load DMP firmware first and then you can write calibration registers values (if you had them stored on your host microcontroller earlier).

Насчет того насколько сам модуль уверен в калибровке - я бы этому параметру не доверял. Даже перемещение модуля между включениями в другю комнату может сбить калибровку компаса, так как рябом может изменится кол-во металическиг предметов (напрмер жестяная плита на кухне или стол с метлическими ножками может повлять на показатели если все очень близко).Жалетельно процедуру калибровки встроить в интерфейс прибора по месту его использования.
@@alexm7056 вы можете показать исходники вашего кода?
Алекс, а если посмотреть на рынок этих 9dof модулей в целом, то где эти модули будут находится в общем рейтинге? И что будет в топ3?
Я не маркетолог в рынке электронных компонент, все зависит от целей использования. Эти конкретные компоненты расчитаны на рынок бытового ширпортеба. И каких то сверхточных характеристик ожиджать от них не стоит. Я уже много раз давал ответы другим ребятам в коментриях о некторых принцыпиальных отличиях этих МЕМС приборов в плане электосхемотехники. BNO085 легче вмонтировать для цепей с шиной питания 3.3В, а ТДК 20948 уже очень заточен под низкое энергопотрбление и требует 1.8В шину для питания логики. В то же время - линейка ТДК имеет набор других более узкоспециализорованных приборов, например 6-ти осевые где присутствуют только акселерометр и гироскоп, и они нормально запитываются от 3.3В. BNO085 имеет внутреннюю флеш память в которой хзранится прошивка с DSP алгоритмами, а также позволяет сохранять настройки калибровки автоматически. ТДК своей флеш памяти не имеет (у него только SRAM), прошивку нужно хранить на внешнем устройстве (хост-контроллере или СД-карте) и вгружкать каждый раз при подачи питания. Т.е. какбы BNO в этом плане лучше будет, меньше телодвижений с написаним кода для финального продукта. Но BNO на 30% дороже. Отсюда вывод - топ определяется рынком того где именно используется финальный продукт. Скажем если это короткая серия какого либо устройства для узкоспециализированного использования без требований низкого энергоптрбления то BNO выигрывает за счет более коротких сроков интеграциии, меньших затрат на разроботку. А вот ТДК будет выгоднее для устройств которые идут на массовый рынок (например мобильные телефоны). Рыннок хобби квадкоптеров и прочих радиоигрушек тоже повально использует продукты ТДК. Они дешевле. Но в этом конретном случае (платы полетных контроллеров для дронов) нет проблем с 1.8В шиной, так как так как там обычно испольуется только 6-ти осевой вариант (акселерометр+гироскоп) который нормально работает от 3.3В.
@@alexm7056 спасибо за ответ. Я имел ввиду (кроме уже описанного тобой) такие критерии как точность и быстродействие. Я просто только начал копать по теме таких устройств и пока не понятно на что ориентироваться.
Can you please tell me how you connected the BNO058 with raspberry pi ? I am having no luck getting it to read anything. Do you have any diagram ? Thanks
It is not an R PI (and I actually don't have any in my workshop), that is the custom board I made for one of hobby projects based on STM32. I've used SPI connection and diagrams are in DataSheet of BNO085, the only thing is the protocol is a bit awkward. Uses dedicated WakeUp line additional to traditional set of 4 wire SPI (nCS, SCK, MISO and MOSI)
@@alexm7056 I see. What did you use to visualize the data. How did you build the software? Have you build it all from scratch? If so what software, language you used. My main goal at this point it to be able to collect the data from the sensor and send it via bluetooth to phone, or webapp, etc and be able to see it in some form of visual aspect. Not just numbers. Any advice would be appreciated.
@@glitch4548 yes, it's proprietary tool I made to debug and test my project. Some angular code running as google extension, with Three.js to render data from COM port. Its features a way beyond of what is demoed here so I can not share it. For you I recommend to write-up a quick python script to read comport and render quaternion rotation for cube.
@@alexm7056 Oh I totally understand. I am new to this concepts and just starting. So for me just having any advice on starting points is very valuable. Do you use any form of messenger discord, fb, email ? Thank you for responding to all my questions.

more videos!
Which softwares are u using how the calibration worked automatically?
The software to view 3D rotations is a tool I developed to debug hardware project I am working on, it was written with Angular and Three.js. The internal algorithms of IMUs run calibration in background as soon as you power them up. The more you move it - the more it gets calibrated, they periodically adjust calibration params to better fit surrounding environment. That is what demonstrated in the video. BNO085 can store calibration settings in internal flash memory and they will be loaded automatically on next startup. ICM20948 does not have non-volitile memory, so every time you power it up there is a procedure to load DMP firmware first and then you can write calibration registers values (if you had them stored on your host microcontroller earlier).
@@alexm7056 Nice work on the software looks great!
Have you released this software that you created for the public to utilize it? Looks very helpful
@@alexm7056 Thank you so much for the video and description. Right now I am using Bno085 for a project for my school. I am connecting it via ICP using nrf52840 feather express microcontroller. I have written a very simple arduino code to get the values for linear acceleration and gyroscope. Would you mind explaining more about calibration? Can i just move the sensor around to calibrate. unlike bno055, i haven't been successfull finding a way to display the calibration status for bno085. so i am just using whatever data bno085 outputs without knowing if it has been calibrated or not.
