IMU

IMU include MoonBot Kit Controller Module three-axis acceleration , drive of three-axis magnetometer and temperature sensor on board.

By calling these modules, you can get MoonBot Kit master control of current direction, tilt angle and state, etc.

Compass calibration

../../../_images/42.png
Introduction

When calibrating the compass, the master control needs to flip in the shape of ”∞“

Acquisition of compass angle

../../../_images/43.png
Introduction

Read the angle between the current direction and the northward direction of the compass Y axis.

Return

  • 0~360°

Acquisition of acceleration value

../../../_images/44.png
Introduction

Read the acceleration simulation of a given axis.

Parameters
Directional axis

  • X,Y,Z

Return

  • Acceleration analogue

Acquisition of acceleration angle

../../../_images/45.png
Introduction

Acquisition the tilt angle of the master control

Introduction
Angle type

  • Elevation angle :The angle between Y axis and horizontal plane in the master control coordinates. When the main control tilts upward, the pitch angle is positive and vice versa.

  • Roll angle :The angle between X axis and horizontal plane in the master control coordinates. When the main control tilts to the right, the roll angle is positive and vice versa.

Return

  • ±180°

Read Temperature

../../../_images/46.png
Introduction

Read the current temperature

Parameters
Unit of temperature

  • ℃ :Celsius degree

  • ℉ :Fahrenheit degree

Return

  • Temperature value

Read the current status

../../../_images/47.png
Introduction

Read the current master control state.

Parameters
state

  • shock :Whether the master control is in vibration state or not

  • Free fall :Whether the master control is in free falling state

Return

  • true :The master control is currently in this state

  • false :The master control is not currently in this state
