Hi there.

I am having an issue when trying to implement a 3DM-GX5-25 on my platform. I am trying to only utilize the filtered data.

This is my launch file for the IMU that I am using:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<launch>

<arg name="plot" default="false"/>
<arg name="diagnostic" default="false"/>

<!-- Microstain sensor node -->
<node name="microstrain_3dm_gx5_25_node"
pkg="microstrain_3dm_gx5_45"
type="microstrain_3dm_gx5_45_node" output="screen">
<param name="port" value="/dev/ttyACM1" type="str" />
<param name="baudrate" value="115200" type="int" />

<param name="device_setup" value="true" type="bool" />
<!-- General Settings -->
<param name="readback_settings" value="true" type="bool" />
<param name="save_settings" value="true" type="bool" />
<param name="auto_init" value="true" type="bool" />

<!-- The GX5-25 is AHRS only, so need to turn off the other messages -->
<!-- AHRS Settings -->
<param name="publish_imu" value="true" type="bool" />
<param name="imu_rate" value="10" type="int" />
<param name="imu_frame_id" value="imu_link" type="str" />
<!-- Setting manual declination is not yet implemented/testes -->
<!-- Declination source 1=None, 2=magnetic, 3=manual -->
<param name="declination_source" value="2" type="int" />
<param name="declination" value="0.0" type="double" />

<!-- GPS Settings  -45 and -35 Only -->
<param name="gps_rate" value="4" type="int" />
<param name="gps_frame_id" value="navsat_link" type="str" />
<param name="publish_gps" value="false" type="bool" />

<!-- Filter Settings -->
<param name="publish_odom" value="true" type="bool" />
<param name="nav_rate" value="10" type="int" />
<param name="dynamics_mode" value="2" type="int" />
<param name="odom_frame_id" value="imu_link" type="str" />
<param name="odom_child_frame_id" value="base_link" type="str" />
</node>

<!-- Diagnostics -->

<node if="$(arg diagnostic)" pkg="rqt_topic" type="rqt_topic" name="rqt_topic"/>

<!-- <node pkg="rqt_plot" type="rqt_plot" name="pid_setpoints" args="/yaw_pid_debug/Setpoint /vel_pid_debug/Setpoi$

<node if="$(arg plot)" pkg="rqt_plot" type="rqt_plot" name="imu_accel" args="/imu/data/linear_acceleration/x /imu/$


</launch>

This is the (condensed) output that I get when I launch my IMU node.

If you're still having problems you can try this slightly modified version of the original driver. It's been tested with the GX5-25.

Hey I am also facing same issue. I cannot view data from Microstrain 3DM-GX5-25 in rviz. But gx5/imu/data topic is active. I also tried $ rostopic echo /gx5/imu/data but I get an empty terminal even if I change IMU orientation. Did you got output?/
