Hi everyone,

I used the following code to get the yaw Euler angle:

// Convert quaternion to RPY.
  tf::Quaternion q;
  tf::quaternionMsgToTF(imu_msg->orientation, q);
  tf::Matrix3x3(q).getRPY(roll, pitch, yaw);

I get the Euler angle varying from [0,PI] and [-PI, 0]

I need rotation angles in the range of 0 to 360. Is it possible to get that directly?

Thanks in advance

You can't get angles in degrees directly from the available library calls, but it's pretty trivial to convert radians to degrees:

double yaw = ...; // however you want to get yaw.
double yaw_degrees = yaw * 180.0 / M_PI; // conversion to degrees
if( yaw_degrees < 0 ) yaw_degrees += 360.0; // convert negative to positive angles

This answer was some time ago, but is this not incorrect?

PEP 103 specifies that yaw measured from the x-axis (i.e. in a geographic frame from East) and is positive CCW. Heading of course is measured from the y-axis, positive CW.

You can try the angles package which provides C++ api calls for angle normalization, conversions between radians and degrees, and finding minimum angular distance.

thanks for your answer, please can you tell me how to use the angles package? I am not succeed.

Without more info about how you are not succeeding, it's hard to help. You need to (1) include angles in your manifest.xml or package.xml (2) #include <angles angles.h=""> (3) Run code like "yaw = angles::to_degrees(angles::normalize_angle_positive(yaw));"
