Component Proposal: 9-DOF IMU (Accelerometer) #91

As it is described in #87, we need a hardware accelerometer. The following module manufactured by Bosch is definitely outstanding as it provides a built-in fusion algorithm. Usually, these algorithms consume huge amounts of time to develop.

Rather than spending weeks or months fiddling with algorithms of varying accuracy and complexity, you can have meaningful sensor data in minutes thanks to the BNO055 image https://www.adafruit.com/product/4646?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwr6wBhBcEiwAfMEQs25ZsRQSI3ZZr5F1jnn5Rk_EU1TZqa_kDwB_7Oy19h_hhXwNvQKq0xoCyzcQAvD_BwE

Correction

I found BNO085 is a better and cheaper option, just that it's out of stock on Adafruit. You'll have to buy it on DigiKey. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4754 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/4754/13426653?s=N4IgjCBcoLQBxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDa4ArAEwIC6AvvYVWSACwDsFbIDQA

@qmascarenhas Please still review this proposal as the acceleration data is going to play a role in this year's development.
