Sensor fusion and absolute position?

alastairalastair
in General
Has anyone out there implemented absolute position using sensor fusion with the MetaWear chips?  Do you have a prefered library? Anything for Android in particular?  

Thanks!

    I am not aware of any such work. Until recently, it was not possible to do sensor fusion as we just put a megnetometer on the board.

    Thanks Eric.  From what I understand (which is very basic), you can still do sensor fusion without a magnetomter, but it's not as good as having three sensors to work with (i.e. 9DOF vs 6DOF).

    We've decided to use the BNO055 which does on-board sensor fusion tied in via I2C. That unfortunately is presenting its own set of challenges: BNO055 via I2C
