Typedef Documentation

typedef struct player_imu_data_calib player_imu_data_calib_t

Data: calibrated IMU data (PLAYER_IMU_DATA_CALIB)

The imu interface returns calibrated acceleration, gyro and magnetic values from the IMU sensor.

typedef struct player_imu_data_euler player_imu_data_euler_t

Data: Euler orientation data (PLAYER_IMU_DATA_EULER)

The imu interface returns calibrated IMU values as well as orientation data as Euler angles.

typedef struct player_imu_data_fullstate player_imu_data_fullstate_t

Data: all of the calibrated IMU data (PLAYER_IMU_DATA_FULLSTATE)

The imu interface returns the complete 3D coordinates + angles position in space, as well as velocity and acceleration of the IMU sensor.

typedef struct player_imu_data_quat player_imu_data_quat_t

Data: Quaternions orientation data (PLAYER_IMU_DATA_QUAT)

The imu interface returns calibrated IMU values as well as orientation data as quaternions.

typedef struct player_imu_data_state player_imu_data_state_t

Data: calibrated IMU data (PLAYER_IMU_DATA_STATE)

The imu interface returns the complete 3D coordinates + angles position in space, of the IMU sensor.

typedef struct player_imu_datatype_config player_imu_datatype_config_t

Request/reply: change the data type to one of the predefined data structures.

Send a PLAYER_IMU_REQ_SET_DATATYPE request to switch between calibrated data, 3D pose and orientation, Euler orientation or Quaternions orientation in the data packet. Null response.

typedef struct player_imu_reset_orientation_config player_imu_reset_orientation_config_t

Request/reply: Reset orientation.

To reset the IMU's orientation, send a PLAYER_IMU_REQ_RESET_ORIENTATION request. Null response.
