Revision history [back]

I also faced this problem as IMU always gives non-zero values for angular velocity (and hence orientation) and linear acceleration even when it is not moving. I didn't find any built-in filter inside ros which could do this task of zeroing out the values when it is stationary. So, I ended up building my own simple filter in which I zero-ed out the values based on a threshold value. This threshold value was found through manual observations on imu.
