Download Wolfvision drivers. Hello, I'm using an intel edison with an arduino expansion board to connect a xsens mti sensor through the USB port, but when I do ls /dev/tty. the device is not present. Then I do a lsusb and it is present but no driver is associated. I yet build a custom kernel (using menuconfig) to embedded the. In case you did not find an explanation for abnormal/unexpected functioning of your Xsens product in the Knowledge Base or Community Forum, you can reach out to the technical support team directly through this contact form. YARP Device Driver for XSens MT. devices based on the MT Software Suite. This repository contains the xsensmt YARP Device Driver (see YARP documentation on devices) that expose any Xsens-based IMU that work with the Xsens MT Software Suite as a C class with the IGenericSensor interface.
xsens_driver
ROS Driver for XSens MT/MTi/MTi-G devices.
All current software, firmware, and drivers for the Surface Pro 3; including optional WinTab drivers. Links to drivers for other Surface devices are in the Details section below. For legacy Xsens MTx/MTi/MTi-G devices, drivers are available on ROS MTi node (legacy). Note: These drivers are developed and maintained by Xsens. Other ROS drivers for the MTi are available, but not developed or supported by Xsens.

The xsens_driver package provides mtnode.py, a generic ROS node publishing the data streamed by an XSens motion tracker (MT, MTi, MTi-G..) from third, fourth or fifth generation. Trust sound cards & media devices driver download for windows 7.
The ROS node is a wrapper around the mtdevice::MTDevice class. It can publish the following topics, depending on the configuration of the device:
/imu/data (sensor_msgs::Imu): orientation, angular velocity, linear acceleration,/fix (sensor_msgs::NavSatFix): longitude, latitude, altitude (from filtered/fused GPS and IMU),/raw_fix (sensor_msgs::NavSatFix): longitude, latitude, altitude (from ONLY GPS),/fix_extended (gps_common::GPSFix): more complete GPS information than /fix,/velocity (geometry_msgs::TwistStamped): angular velocity is in body frame, linear velocity is in world frame and fused with GPS measurement./magnetic (geometry_msgs::Vector3Stamped): direction of magnetic field,/temperature (std_msgs::Float32): temperature,/pressure (std_msgs::Float32): pressure,/analog_in1 (std_msgs::UInt16): first analog input,/analog_in2 (std_msgs::UInt16): second analog input.
It can also publish diagnostics information.
Finally, it always publishes the decoded message as a std_msgs::String representing the Python dictionary on /imu_data_str.
If the IMU is set to raw mode, the values of the /imu/data, /velocity and /magnetic topics are the 16 bits output of the AD converters and therefore not in usual units.
The covariance information in the sensor_msgs::Imu message are filled with default values from the MTx/MTi/MTi-G documentation but may not be exact; it also does not correspond to the covariance of the internal XKF.
The nodes can take the following parameters:
- ~device (
auto): the path of the device file to connect to the imu; auto will look through all serial devices to find the first one. - ~baudrate (0): the baudrate of the IMU (unused for
auto device); 0 will try to auto-detect baudrate. - ~timeout (0.002): the timeout for communication with the IMU.
- ~initial_wait (0.1): initial wait to allow the device to come up before trying to communicate.
- ~frame_id (
/base_imu): the frame id of the IMU. - ~frame_local (
ENU): the desired frame orientation (ENU, NED, or NWU). - ~no_rotation_duration (0): the int duration in seconds of the no-rotation calibration procedure at the start of the node (only for mark iv devices). If 0, the procedure is not launched.
- ~angular_velocity_covariance_diagonal ([0.0004, 0.0004, 0.0004]) diagonal elements of the covariance matrix on the angular velocity published on the
/imu/data topic. - ~linear_acceleration_covariance_diagonal ([0.0004, 0.0004, 0.0004]) diagonal elements of the covariance matrix on the linear acceleration published on the
/imu/data topic. - ~orientation_covariance_diagonal ([0.01745, 0.01745, 0.15708]) diagonal elements of the covariance matrix on the orientation published on the
/imu/data topic.
It might be necessary to add the user to the dialout group so that the node can communicate with the device.

238 The idea of ICC is to record magnetic field data during so-called
239 representative motion in order to better calibrate the magnetometer and
241 Typical usage would be to issue the start command, then move the device
242 for some time then issue the stop command. If parameters are acceptable,
243 these can be stored using the store command.
245 00: Start representative motion
246 01: Stop representative motion; return ddt, dimension, and status.
248 03: Get representative motion state; return 1 if active
