Retrieve IMU data from a USB sensor

Hello, I don't have expertise with Arduino so I was thinking in buying an BNO055 USB stick to acquire IMU data. Anyone can tell me if Matlab will recognize it? Do I need to convert the USB stick to a serial Port ?

Thanks in advance :-)

The BNO055 USB Stick is a convenient way to get IMU data from the BNO055 sensor. The USB stick typically presents itself as a virtual COM port when plugged into a computer. This means that it can be accessed by MATLAB as a serial port, using the built-in serial communication functions like ‘serialport’.

You can also use ‘hardwareManager’, it is a graphical interface that allows you to discover and connect to your hardware from MATLAB® by providing access to the necessary add-ons and apps.
