Motion sensor calibration and usage

Post by dgeers »

Dear all,

Hi again. I've been working through all the Adafruit tutorials I can find relating to the sensors on my Feather Sense (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4516). With that experience in hand, I have a couple questions.

The Adafruit articles on magnetometer and gyroscope calibration (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-sen ... alibration and https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-sen ... alibration ) show how to derive calibration values, but don’t give examples or point to examples of code that implement these values. Given the calibration values, a newbie would want to use them, test them; but testing/using isn't described/shown. Or am I missing something there?

My guess is to use the write_callibration sketch shown in the AHRS tutorial (https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-fuse- ... -pre-check) to add gyroscope calibration data. Is that correct and/or could I get another example of how do incorporate the calibration values?

Thanks much for any help, suggestions, and/or ideas,

Doug
