The IMU brick 2.0 is the successor of the IMU brick with high resolution sensors, simpler calibration, additional continuous self-calibration and a two orders of magnitude better accuracy.The IMU brick 2.0 is equipped with a 3-axis acceleration sensor, magnetic field sensor (compass) and built-in gyroscope and works as a USB Inertialsensor. This can measure 9 degrees of freedom and calculates quaternionen as well as independent yaw, roll and pitch angle. It is a complete attitude and heading reference system.The API, available for many programming languages, allows you to access the calculated data as well as the acceleration, magnetic field and angle speeds for the three axes. If the quaternionen-darstellung used, the IMU brick gimbal-lock-free (in contrast to Euler angle display).Can be connected via two connectors can be brick lets the capabilities of the bricks. As an example, a GPS position data bricklet can be connected, in order to determine.The IMU brick 2.0 but can also be used with other bricks in a stack. For example, an additional master brick with master extensions can be used to drive the USB connection through other wired interfaces (RS485, Ethernet) or wireless interfaces (WLAN) to replace.First TestTo test a imu brick 2.0 must be installed first brick daemon and brick Viewer. Works as a proxy between the USB interface of the brick daemon bricks and the API bindings. Brick Viewer can connect with brick daemon, there are information about the connected bricks and brick let off and makes it possible to test this.If the brick via USB is connected to the PC should have a moment later in the brick viewer a new tab called IMU brick 2.0 appear. Select this tab.All available data of the IMU bricks 2.0 are displayed. If the IMU brick 2.0 held as shown and then the Save Orientation button is clicked, the movements of the IMU bricks to be reflected accordingly in the brick Viewer.A separate program can now be written. The Section Programming Interface lists the API of the IMU brick 2.0 and examples in different programming languages.calibrationThe IMU brick 2.0 leads through a self-calibration. It is not necessary to carry out a separate calibration by hand. The IMU the calibration can store data, in order to speed up the self-calibration after a restart. This calibration data are used in the production has already been set.Click on the Calibration button in the brick Viewer to view the current status of the continuous self-calibration. In this dialog, you can also use the saved calibration data is updated.This text is machine translated.
