Hello,
I want to use NEOM8U in a robot, but the movement speed of my robot cannot reach the requirement of calibrating IMU. So I want to use a car to calibrate IMU first, and then install NEOM8U on the robot. Is this method feasible?
Thank you
Li
The car suspension/handling dynamics will affect the calibration/readings, but if it is your only choice you can certainly give it a shot and see if it is a usable routine…though you should note that it isn’t meant for low-speed applications (it’s for cars), and it might perform better in one of the other modes (pedestrian/bike?). See pg 21 here
Try placing the robot central during the calibration (lower armrest area if possible…you want to near the car’s center of gravity) and try to make sure if you do try the car
hi,
I have a question about the imu of neom8u. Do I need to calibrate the imu by using a car (speed greater than 30km/h) every time I power off? Because in the afternoon, after I calibrated the imu, I turned off the power and prepared to transplant it to the robot, but the information of the imu showed that it was initializing.
thanks
No, unless the on-board backup battery is low - note this from the hookup guide: The battery provides over a years worth of power to the backup system and charges slowly when the board is powered. To charge it to full, leave your module plugged in for 48 hours.
Make sure to charge it for a long time and re-try
