How do I read data from a BNO055 Xplained Pro board using a TTL-232RG-VREG3V3-WE cable and YARP?

Connect the TTL-232RG-VREG3V3-WE to the BNO055 Xplained Pro pinout

RED	20
BLACK	2
YELLOW	11
ORANGE	12

Prepare YARP

Compile YARP with the imuBosch_BNO055 device, setting to ON the ENABLE_yarpmod_imuBosch_BNO055 CMake option.

Launch the yarpserver (if it is not already running)

yarpserver

Launch the driver

yarpdev --device inertial --subdevice imuBosch_BNO055 --comport /dev/ttyUSB0 --channels 16 --name /seesaw

Read the data

actually the FTDI cable you are using is not correct since the Vcc is 5V, only the TX and RX has the 3V3 levels.

The right cable is the TTL-232RG-VREG3V3-WE

I check the document and the pinout should be consistent, however this still need to be tested.
