Overview

Convert sensor raw signals to quaternions

Discussion

This module converts raw sensor signals to quaternions.

Three sensors are supported: an accelerometer, a gyro, and a magnetometer.

An input pin is provided for each sensor

The data coming in on each pin is xData, yData, zData, timeStampLo, timeStampHi, dataValid (6 channels).

Module arguments are a noise measurement for each sensor.

Internally the sample rate of each sensor is 100 Hz and is converted to a sample period in nanoseconds.

The sensor noise arguments are as follows:

ACCEL (12 bits per g) - 1.8 mg(RMS), 11 bit G: Example: (sample_t)(0.0018f * (1 << 11) + 0.5);

GYRO (10 bits rad/s) - 125 mdps(RMS), 10 Bit radians/sec: Example: (sample_t)(sample_t)(0.0022f * (1 << 10) + 0.5);

MAG (12 bits milligauss) - 70 nT RMS: Example: (sample_t)(0.0007f * (1 << 12) + 0.5);

Timestamp is in elapsed nanoseconds
