Using the V5 Inertial Sensor

@jpearman

raw message rate for the inertial sensor is 50Hz. … I’m very skeptical about the double integration being able to reproduce accurate results, but will be happy if someone can prove me wrong.

Full alignment procedure for Inertial sensor

This procedure calibrates the accelerometers in the Inertial sensor and saves the result in non volatile memory. This procedure needs vexos 1.0.10 or later. Only perform this calibration if your VEX inertial sensor is showing angles for roll and/or pitch that are larger than perhaps 1 or 2 degrees when the inertial sensor is on a flat surface that is known to be level in both axis. Some inertial sensors can show significant error for roll and pitch when placed on a level surface. To check a…

How do I Calibrate Inertial Sensor in Pre_Auton?

When you run a program, the inertial sensor starts a calibration sequence, the first second of that sequence does not look at gyro values, it just waits for everything to stabilize, so any movement from touching the V5 should have stopped. It won’t hurt if you restart the calibration at the beginning of your program, I’m just saying that it’s not strictly necessary. You can also choose to manually recalibrate the inertial sensor at any time by going to the dashboard and selecting calibrate, yo…
