Sensor Fusion Toolbox in Linux

[javierhernande1]

Hi,

I have installed 'Sensor Fusion Toolbox' for Windows in Ubuntu 16 32bits (virtualized with Oracle VirtualBox 5.0.20 64 bits in Fedora 23).

I could generate the .bin file for the board FRDM-K64F and install it without problems.

But now, there is a downside.

Freescale Sensor Fusion Toolbox application can not open port to the sensor board. Dialog ERROR say:

Check that the sensor board is switched on. If the sensor board has never been paierd with this PC then use Control Panel / Devices and Printer / Add a device to add the sensor board and then restart this application.

The solution! -->  Set up the serial port in Wine

$  ln -s /dev/ttyAMC0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

$ nano ~/.wine/system.reg

add  this: 

[Hardware\\Devicemap\\Serialcomm] 1131331688

"COM1"="COM1"

wine SensorFusion.exe

Result:

But latency is high.

Best regards,

Javier

You're welcome, a pleasure for me to contribute something.

I haven't Windows machine, so I can try FSFK project. Not very fast, but it works.

Best regards,

Javier

Wow!  I'm impressed.  We never expected anyone to attempt to run the tool from Linux. 

I'm also not surprised by the latency issue.  You are going through a lot of software layers to accomplish what you've done.

Thanks for sharing.
