I've noticed while spinning through BNO08X datasheets that it recommends a self calibration from the user
For best motion tracking performance, it is recommended to calibrate the BNO08X. Since each MEMS sensor
part has different individual characteristics, each device using the BNO08X must be calibrated individually.
This seems to be a one time thing.
Ceva suggests that even if this isn't done, the BNO will still work using factory calibration but I believe it could be worth a look in to if a user calibration could improve overall drift time.
I would be interested to hear others opinions though.
