IMU reading without dead reckoning calibration on M8U Ublox

Hi

Is it possible to skip the dead reckoning calibration of the M8U sensor on vehicle and read the IMU data (based on factory calibration)?

When you run the provided code it only outputs 0 since the calibration has not been done.

Thanks

Hmmmm…you might be able to replace the “1” with a “0” in the 2nd example to bypass the calibration checking step? https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … -imu-data-

Let me know if this works!

That would not skip the calibration check.

Hi @msh911,

To my knowledge, there is no way to skip or force-calibrate the IMU. I believe you have to perform the calibration each time.

It might be possible to save the calibration with “Save On Shutdown”, but we have not tried or tested that.

Best wishes,

Paul
