Cannot set imu_data_rate >100Hz for 3DM-CV7 AHRS #257

Closed shahyaan closed 1 year ago

shahyaan commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Launch Node with command docker run --privileged --net=host -v /home/imu_params.yml:/home/imu_params.yml --device /dev/ttyS0 microstrain/ros-microstrain_inertial_driver:ros params_file:=/home/imu_params.yml port:=/dev/ttyS0
  2. See Error terminate called after throwing an instance of 'mscl::Error_Communication' what(): Failed to communicate with the device.

Expected behavior When imu_data_rate: 100 in imu_params.yml file, the sensor does indeed publish on topic /imu/data at 100 Hz and the data looks valid (header, orientation, orientation_covariance, angular velocity, angular_velocity_covariance, linear_acceleration, linear_acceleration_covariance). However, the Ros node issues the following warnings: [ WARN] [1687275568.570441788]: Attempted to stream MIP field with descriptor 0x8214 at a rate of 10.000000 hz, but the device reported that it does not support it

Environment (please complete the following information):

Modifications No modifications to code, simply created a new parameters.yml file for sensor to reference

Launch Parameters If you have an updated params.yml file, please attach it to this issue. imu_params.yml file: declination_source: 1 imu_data_rate: 250 filter_enable_gnss_pos_vel_aiding: False filter_enable_gnss_heading_aiding: False

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

I think these logs be kind of confusing. There are many topics that your device does not support, which is what those logs are saying,

Can you please run rostopic hz /imu/data or replace /imu/data with whatever topic you are interested in and let me know the rate in hertz you are getting? If it is around 250 hertz, then your device is functioning as expected

shahyaan commented 1 year ago

Rob,

I am getting 100 Hz when I run rostopic echo /imu/data, and 10 Hz for /nav/filtered_imu/data . If I set the imu_data_rate to anything above 100 Hz in the imu_params.yml file the node throws an error: ''mscl::Error_Communication' what(): Failed to communicate with the device.

How can I change the imu_data_rate if not via the parameters file?

Thanks

robbiefish commented 1 year ago

Okay, thank you for the feedback, I notice that you are using an old version of the driver. The version you are using was build before the CV7 was released, so it has not been tested with that device. Could you try updating to the latest version? It should be available via the ROS package index for your environment

Installation instructions for installing from the buildfarm can be found here

If you can't install from the buildfarm, you should be able to build from source by following these instructions

shahyaan commented 1 year ago

I am using the Raspbian Buster OS which is armv7.

When I pull the docker image with tag "latest" I get the following error: docker pull microstrain/ros-microstrain_inertial_driver:latest latest: Pulling from microstrain/ros-microstrain_inertial_driver no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries

So instead I pulled "[latest-noetic-arm32v7] (https://hub.docker.com/layers/microstrain/ros-microstrain_inertial_driver/latest-noetic-arm32v7/images sha256-19a070228899bf9528154bf761a5536a390b62688fbaac977f505ea4d2e6a357?context=explore) which does work, but results in the issue of not being able to set imu_data_rate>100Hz.

Is there another driver that you are referring to in the last message that I am unaware of?

Thanks

I was able to build the driver from source. However, now I get the following issue when I run: roslaunch microstrain_inertial_driver microstrain.launch

robbiefish commented 1 year ago

Thank you for the feedback, please set the following parameters and try again:

filter_pps_source : 0
filter_declination_source : 0

For the docker images, we don't have a formal process for releasing those, so they have gotten pretty out of date. I will try to push an update with the most recent changes today

shahyaan commented 1 year ago

Hi Rob,

Setting filter_pps_source: 0 worked. The node runs and data is streaming from the IMU. I think the filter_declination_soure: 1 is correct for the CV7, and not 0. If I set it to 0 then the node stops communicating.

I am able to get data rates over 100Hz now, however, there still seems to be a limit somewhere that prevents me from achieving an imu_data_rate of 250 Hz. When I change the imu_data_rate: 250 in 'src/microstrain_inertial/microstrain_inertial_driver/microstrain_inertial_driver_common/config/params.yml', here's the output of the node:

Hi Rob, any update regarding the issue of data rate topping out at 130Hz regardless of what I set the parameter to?

nathanmillermicrostrain commented 1 year ago

Looks like it might be a baudrate issue?

From "[ INFO] [1687450343.429608030]: Attempting to open serial port </dev/ttyS0> at <115200>"

Are you using a RS232 serial port at 115200 baud? If so, can you up it to 921600? The driver will output a number of messages from the device to support as many of the features of the driver as possible. You can tune the publishing rate of data in the driver to some extent to try to maximize your bandwidth.

Hope that helps!

Hi Nathan,

I've tried that (and other baudrates) and the node gives me the following error. Seems like when the device tries to reset itself to accept the new configuration it hangs.

Those errors indicate that the port is not opening correctly at those baudrates. Is there a port configuration option on your target hardware that needs to be set? We provide low-level serial drivers for standard Linux & Windows installs, but the initialization may look different for your target hardware. This is where I'd look for reference in how we set up the serial port (our ROS driver uses our MIP SDK): https://github.com/LORD-MicroStrain/mip_sdk/tree/b1e62780dfdfe6a9166480e9b05a8fdc051e6dd9/src/mip/utils

Hope that helps, Nathan

Hi Nathan,

That resolved the problem, however, the only way I could change the baudrate was using the sensor connect software, disconnecting from the device, and then attaching it to y raspberry Pi module. I was unable to get the device to respect a change in the baud rate using the parameter file. But once it was set in sensor connect to 921600 it stays that way and allows imu_data_rates up to 1Khz, and I can live with that. Thank you both Nathan and Rob for helping me resolve this issue!

@shahyaan, I am glad Nathan was able to help you with the issue in my absence, saving the baudrate setting using SensorConnect is one solution, you could also change the parameter set_baud: True in the params.yml, this will configure the device to use the requested baudrate and then open the port at the requested baudrate as well.
