Now to test the suggested fixes for slowing down / speeding up the I2C clock and see if it fixes the demonstrated issues with the BNO055 and BNO085.

Clock Slow Down Fix for BNO055

With the line:

Download File
Copy Code 
dtparam=i2c_arm_baudrate=10000

added to /boot/config.txt and the Pi rebooted, try again the same library example:

Much better.

Clock Speed Up Fix for BNO085

With the line:

Download File
Copy Code 
dtparam=i2c_arm_baudrate=400000

added to /boot/config.txt and the Pi rebooted, try running the same library example:

Copy Text 
[email protected]:~ $ python3 bno08x_simpletest.py
Acceleration:
X: 0.574219  Y: -0.113281 Z: 10.000000  m/s^2

Gyro:
X: 0.000000  Y: 0.000000 Z: 0.000000 rads/s

Magnetometer:
X: 13.812500  Y: 22.375000 Z: -45.875000 uT

Rotation Vector Quaternion:
I: 0.003662  J: -0.025330 K: 0.294250  Real: 0.955383

Acceleration:
X: 0.613281  Y: -0.113281 Z: 10.031250  m/s^2

Gyro:
X: 0.000000  Y: 0.000000 Z: -0.001953 rads/s

Magnetometer:
X: 14.187500  Y: 23.125000 Z: -43.187500 uT

Rotation Vector Quaternion:
I: 0.003662  J: -0.028625 K: 0.316528  Real: 0.948120

And now it's working.
