Hi,
shure the sensor don't know where it is.
The internal auto calibration of the BNO055 works if the sensor lies still on table but fails when on board.
The moving of the boat when underway seems to desorientate the auto calibration. If the boat is in the harbour the sensor works fine. When underway the heading swings random up to 90 degrees.
This experience made more then one user of this module.
My boat is GFK and the older sensor without automatic calibration works fine.
So it's just a hint for a possible fault.
I used the module CMPS12 witch was useless. Now there is a module CMPS14 on the market wich allows to switch off the automatic calibration. Don't test it but if I get problems with the sensor I would try to switch off the automatic routine.
Best regards
Andreas
