RE: Interfacing MTi devices with the Raspberry Pi

Hi I'm currently using MTi-630 AHRS and ran the example code.
However, I only received the quaternion and 3D orientation data

What should I do?

I'm working on a joystick conrolled tadpole trike for people with disabilities.

Before I read this, I was looking for a cheapish gyro to be certain about conditions of operation and this might be the ticket.

It isn't quite clear from this article but Xsens makes MEMS sensors that measure linear acceleration, angular rate, barometric pressure and magnetic field.

These look like great mobile robots - I wish I could afford one. I particularly like the idea of automatically watering my garden, especially the raised vegetable beds.

I have experienced the problems of trying to locate a mobile robot outside in my previous life and it is a tricky problem, GPS can work but isn't sufficiently accurate so you have to find local landmarks. I never managed a suitably accurate dead-reckoning system. Magnetics are just so easily disrupted by the motors or a passing lump of iron!.

They look well built, but I have concerns about their ground clearance, narrow wheel base and they look top heavy.

They may work outside, but you better have a nice level area for them to work.

Look! A really really big mobile robot! I wonder if they have a spare one somewhere they don't need?
