Hello Guys,
I have a problem with my current project reproducing the IMU Headtracker vom Gregory Pauls Hackaday Site (https://hackaday.io/project/8952/instructions)
Problem is, the MiniIMU board from Pololu changed in the meantime to v5, (https://www.pololu.com/product/2738) using a LSM6DS33 (3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometer) and a LIS3MDL (3 axis magnetometer). So we have now different sensors and the accelerometer is now integretated in the gyro and not in the magnetometer anymore.
I changed the code, integrating the new libraries (with a change from "int" to "float" for one parameter to match the smoothing function) and reading the Acc-data from the gyro (gyro.a.x instead of compass.a.x).
The code works in general pretty good, but it starts drifting soon (especially the yaw-anlge) - in my understanding the 3-axis-magnetometer should prevent the drift and reset the direction? Apperently this doesn´t work and i have no idea why.
It also seems, that there is no change to the drift if I delete the magnetometer-setup in the IMUInit-function. I calibrated the magnetmoter and put the values in the beginning headtracker-code.
Can someone help me please? Here is my altered code:
Thank you very much,
Durzo
