Wireless Data Streaming Using BNO055 and Bluetooth® and Estimating Orientation Using Sensor Fusion

Get data from a Bosch BNO055 IMU sensor through HC-05 Bluetooth® module and to use the 9-axis AHRS fusion algorithm on the sensor data to compute orientation of the device. The example creates a figure which gets updated as you move the device.
