IMUEx

open class IMUEx : IMU, Runnable

Drop-in replacement for an Inertial Measurement Unit that provides WPIUnit data and the capabilities of automatic updates similar to (but not implementing) a subsystem multi-thread.

This class supports different readings of IMU measurement, such as an unrestricted domain on heading reads, while also being able to provide IMU units in terms of WPIUnits.

This class is also down-castable to the Universal IMU Interface. Note that all data in this class is retrieved via the run method, which opens the possibility for threading the IMU via startThread, similar to a BunyipsSubsystem.

Since this class is down-castable, it also can be used as a HardwareDevice and serves as a drop-in replacement for the IMU interface.

Field-exposed angles from this class are intrinsic. Read more in the YawPitchRollAngles and Orientation classes.

open fun getRobotOrientation(reference: AxesReference, order: AxesOrder, angleUnit: AngleUnit): Orientation
Note: This Orientation will not respect the currently set YawDomain to ensure consistency across usages of the Universal IMU Interface.

open fun getRobotOrientationAsQuaternion(): Quaternion
Note: This Orientation will not respect the currently set YawDomain to ensure consistency across usages of the Universal IMU Interface.
Link copied to clipboard
open fun getRobotYawPitchRollAngles(): YawPitchRollAngles
Note: This method will not respect the currently set YawDomain, as it may not respect the angle requirement as listed by the YawPitchRollAngles that is provided by this method.

open fun getVersion(): Int
Link copied to clipboard
Gets the current yaw domain, which is the domain this IMU is reporting yaw at.

open fun resetYaw()
Link copied to clipboard
open fun run()
Update the class fields and method return values with newest information from the IMU.
Link copied to clipboard
open fun setYawDomain(newDomain: IMUEx.YawDomain)
Sets the domain range of what the yaw field will return.
Link copied to clipboard
open fun setYawMultiplier(mul: Double)
Set a multiplicative scale that will be applied to every delta update of the IMU heading.
