Got all the channels on the IMU to work last night. I then started to perform some crude testing. First thing I did was to get a few minutes of data without any motion. This seems ok, although there is more noise than I would have liked.<\/p>\n
Next I simply turned on the car motor. I was fully expecting to see the magnetometer channels go ballistic due to the magnetic field, but I was not expecting the accel and gyro channels to go nuts as well. But looking at the car, the sensor deck was visibly vibrating to the point it was blurry.<\/p>\n
So now I think I need to balance the tires (will my mechanic do this for me?) and vibration isolate the sensor deck from the car. Need to think on this one.<\/p>\n
