Sensor Fusion Version 6.0

[a8Chcx]

Hi Mike,

When are you going to release the sensor fusion version 6.0? What is the new functions included in?

In Version 6.0, do you have the function to detect the movement based on ACC+MAG to cancel GYRO drifting? In this way, when in stationary, there will be no YAW change even in IMU mode, right?

Thanks,

Christie

Good question.  We actually have two threads of development underway right now.  Version 6.00 adds a number of features and is designed to run bare metal (no RTOS).  Version 7.00 (derived from 6.00) will support both bare-metal AND RTOS implementations.  It will no longer include Processor Expert support, but instead will be based on the Kinetis SDK.  We probably will NOT field 6.00 at all.  We're not planning to include the exact feature you mention, but we will be adding a zero movement yaw initialization that has much the same effect.  It will be 2nd quarter before you see V7.00.  Licensing details are still under discussion.

Hi Mike,

Thanks.

Could you explain more about "a zero movement yaw initialization"?

What is the licensing details?

Just that, measure the gyro outputs at rest and then use those values as a correction going forward.

Licensing details are still TBD.   We still expect to release source, but the new version may be restricted to NXP silicon.  No firm decision has been made either way.  And of course, no change to libraries already released.
