I've recently purchased the BNO05 IMU and wish to start publishing sensor_msgs/Imu data on my ROS network. The sensor is connected to an Arduino Uno board which is then connected to my computer. I've found sample code for the IMU which obtains quaternion data from the sensor and displays it on the serial monitor.

I've tried to modify the code so that a node is created which publishes the data in the sensor_msgs/IMU format. The problem is that once this extra code is added, the serial monitor starts outputting rubbish. I believe that this might be due to delays.

Does anyone have experience with this particular IMU?
