I have the BNO-055 sensor for magnetic and gyroscope. The thing seems to be working as it is recognized by openplotter (see screenshot). The data shows in the inspector (although I'm not sure I understand what it means) but if I add it in a dashboard in opencpn, it stays empty, even if I move the breadboard where the sensor is pinned for now. Any idea of the missing link??
If so I think you can make your own nmea 0183 sentence to check.

Hey Paddy. Thanks so much for the answer! :
Not too sure what you mean though by "are you on V0.10.*" ? My setup is fairly basic ATM, with a fresh install of OP (0.8) and node-red in the background for temp & barometer. I haven't installed anything particular for the sensor since it's supported by OP "by default".
The link you give is referring to dashboard_pi, which I'm guessing is the C++ of the dashboard in openCPN???
Paddy suggested to upgrade to latest beta version op 0.10.x.
To get the heal into node-red you just have to include the json path : $.updates..values[?(@.path=="navigation.attitude.pitch")]..value
and then convert the rad into degree by e.g. msg.payload = Math.round(numInput*572.95779513)/10;
To get heal into ocpn I dont understand the objective, dashboard in ocpn has no control for it.
BTW I struggled to get pressure data to ocpn, there is a barograph control, but I failed to source it - gave up but suspect it has something to do with the NMEA 183 generator.
