I’ve seen a lot of other teams mount their inertial sensors on rubber links. Is there an actual benefit to this? I would think you wouldn’t want your inertial sensor on something that can be vulnerable to moving.
Way before IMU was released but still relevant
A comment was made in the ConVEX thread about gyro stability and the effect of running motors on the gyro output. I did a very quick test before work today and confirmed that I could see the same problem, support the robot on something so the drive can be run without moving and the gyro reading changes when it shouldn’t.
The first thought was that the drop in battery voltage when under load may be causing this, a quick test using a bench power supply showed that this is not the case.
I had pr…
Thank you. Lowkey weird seeing a gyro look like a pure micro chip lol.
So is vibration still the cause of IMU noise?

Lowkey weird
More of an old-timer, lowkey hack
