        Choosing Between BNO055 Onboard Fusion and ROS 2-Side Fusion for SLAM/Localization
                    I want to use the IMU sensor that uses the Adafruit 4646 (Bosch BNO055 chip) on my ROS 2-based vehicle. Is it more sensible to use the sensor’s built-in fusion, or would pulling raw accel, gyro, and ...
