Clearpath Jackal rostopic echo /imu/mag Giving only vlaues of 0

edit

Good morning,

So after spending a few days trying to debug my code for waypoint navigation I stumbled onto what I believe is an error in either the hardware of the system or its configuration. It seems that the IMU is not working properly, when I rostopic echo /imu/mag I get the following:

X: 0.0 Y: 0.0 Z: 0.0

for all running time.

With that, I tried to do an IMU calibration with the following command: rosrun jackal_base calibrate_compass, but I get the following error:

Unable to compute calibration from recorded bag.

So I looked into the output file from this calibration attempt and the .log file has the following error in it:

AttributeError: '_sensor_msgs_MagneticField' object has no attributes

Further, I also have another jackal (both just recently received) and I get the same result on that one as well.

Thanks for you help and suggestion,

Sage
