hi all,
i am using xsense imu and when running mtnode.py i can see the change in orientation values but no change in velocity and acceleration both remains zero if i move the imu. what would be done extra to see these values. Thanks
P.S i am using xsens_driver package from ethzasl_xsens_driver stack on ros electric.
It's possible that your IMU is not configured to output those values. Take a look at the --output-mode option to mtdevice.py.
Configuring xsens_driver for XSENS IMU in ROS Here I employ xsens MTI-G IMU which is orange in colour.
I am working in ROS FUERTE on ubuntu 12.04 using the xsens_driver package that ships in ethzasl_xsens_driver.
I tried to get all the relevant data from IMU namely orientation orientation covariance angular velocity angular velocity covariance linear acceleration linear acceleration covariance
Configuration steps
The above command should result in something like this
Configuring mode and settings Ok
Running the driver
roslaunch xsens_driver xsens_driver.launch
rostopic echo /imu/data
Then it should display all the data from IMU
Good day!
Hi, I also use an xsens MTI-G 700 on ubuntu 12.04. I use the xsens_driver from the hydro debs and have the problem, that the configuration call "rosrun xsens_driver mtdevice.py --configure --output-mode=coapvs --output-settings=tqMAG" causes both the mtdevice.py as well as the node to fail have parsing problems: "MT error: could not parse MTData message" does anybody have an idea? both work fine when I use: rosrun xsens_driver "mtdevice.py -c -s 0x1 -m 0x4"
To anyone with the same problem. I was able to make it work by using "rosrun xsens_driver mtdevice.py -l --output-mode=coapvs --output-settings=tqMAG". -l is a flag for legacy configuration.

I would help to add the package link you are using as there are multiple xsens drivers available.
