Compatible sensors

This software is compatible with these sensors.

• TR-IMU16470
• TR-IMU16475-2
• TR-IMU-Platform

Operating environment

This software has been confirmed to work on the following OS and ROS versions.

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS + ros1 kinetic
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS + ros1 melodic
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS + ros1 noetic

How to use

Port setting

Add the user to the dialout group to use the USB port as the login user. (If you have already added it, skip this item)
Execute the following command.

$ sudo addgroup `whoami` dialout

Then, log out and log in again to reflect the settings.

DIP switch settings

First, set the DIP switch.

• For TR-IMU16470 or TR-IMU16475-2, turn on No. 1 and No. 4 and turn off all the rest.
• For TR-IMU-Platform, turn on No. 1 and No. 5 and turn off all the rest.

After setting the switch, connect the sensor via USB.

Install

Go to your package directory and clone.

$ cd [your packages directory]
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/technoroad/ADI_IMU_TR_Driver_ROS1

Then resolve dependencies.

$ cd [your workspace directory]
$ rosdep update
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro ${ROS_DISTRO} -y

Build

Go to your workspace directory and run the build command.

$ cd [your workspace directory]
$ catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Then set the path.

$ source devel/setup.bash

Run

This software has two execution modes.

• Imu board(On-board angle estimation) + Rviz vizualization
• Imu board(Acceleration and gyro output) + imu_filter_madgwick + Rviz vizualization

The respective execution methods are shown below.

Run imu board(On-board angle estimation) + Rviz vizualization

Execute the following command.

$ roslaunch adi_imu_tr_driver_ros1 adis_rcv_csv.launch mode:=Attitude device:=/dev/ttyACM0

You can see the model of ADIS16470 breakout board in rviz panel.

Run imu board(Acceleration and gyro output) + imu_filter_madgwick + Rviz vizualization

Execute the following command.

$ roslaunch adi_imu_tr_driver_ros1 adis_rcv_csv.launch mode:=Register device:=/dev/ttyACM0 with_filter:=true

You can see the model of ADIS16470 breakout board in rviz panel.

Topics

This software outputs the following topics.

• /imu/data_raw (sensor_msgs/Imu)

  IMU raw output. It contains angular velocities and linear accelerations. The orientation is always unit quaternion.
  To view this data, execute sensor in the Register mode.
  example:

$ rostopic echo /imu/data_raw
・・・
angular_velocity:
  x: -0.0116995596098
  y: -0.00314657808936
  z: 0.000579557116093
angular_velocity_covariance: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
linear_acceleration:
  x: 0.302349234658
  y: -0.303755252655
  z: 9.87837325989
linear_acceleration_covariance: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
・・・

• /diagnostics (diagnostic_msgs/DiagnosticArray)

  Sensor state output.
  example:

$ rostopic echo /diagnostics
・・・
header:
  seq: 80
  stamp:
    secs: 1587104853
    nsecs: 921894057
  frame_id: ''
status:
  -
    level: 0
    name: "adis_rcv_csv_node: imu"
    message: "OK"
    hardware_id: "ADIS16470"
    values: []

Common operations

Calibration(Available only in Attitude mode)

How to update the calibration parameters.

1. Start the sensor in attitude mode using the following command.

$ roslaunch adi_imu_tr_driver_ros1 adis_rcv_csv.launch mode:=Attitude device:=/dev/ttyACM0

2. Leave the sensor stationary for 120 seconds. (Parameters are calculated automatically)
3. Update the parameters with the following command.

$ rosservice call /imu/cmd_srv "cmd: 'START_BIAS_CORRECTION'
args:
- ''"

Reset attitued(Available only in Attitude mode)

How to reset the attitude angle.

1. Start the sensor in attitude mode using the following command.

$ roslaunch adi_imu_tr_driver_ros1 adis_rcv_csv.launch mode:=Attitude device:=/dev/ttyACM0

2. Leave the sensor stationary for 120 seconds. (Parameters are calculated automatically)
3. Update the parameters with the following command.

$ rosservice call /imu/cmd_srv "cmd: 'RESET_FILTER'
args:
- ''"
