9 open source boards using the BNO086
Real designs built with the BNO086, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

What boards using the BNO086 are built for
BNO086: common questions
Where can I find a BNO086 reference design?
Each of the 9 boards on this page is a real design using the BNO086. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the BNO086 use?
Most are built on ESP32 (4) and STM32 (3).
How big is a typical board using the BNO086?
The median is 60 × 60 mm, and 11% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the BNO086?
By GitHub stars, MIDAS MK1 by ISSUIUC, with 31 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the BNO086 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
