An asynchronous driver made for the BNO055 built using Nordic Semiconductor's nRF5 SDK v12.3.0.
It's in a functional state but it is missing some features such as low power mode and manually writing registers, because I have not needed them so far.
- Asynchronous: callbacks done through nrf-evt-queue events.
- Automatic mode configuration: you can just tell the driver what operating mode and what power mode you want and forget about it. You don't need to wait for the changes to complete before setting new modes. The driver will let you know when it's ready.
- Failure handling: can handle and recover from I2C failures and unexpected/invalid BNO055 responses - usually this would involve physically fixing loose wires before telling software to try again.
- Initial state flexibility: you don't need to start the driver with a freshly resetted BNO055 for it to work: it will start by reading the current state and move on from there.
