Hi,
Thank you for reporting that issue. This code indeed seems to be incorrect. We will have a look to fix it and use the correct quantities from the unit (velocity channel directly).
Could you please confirm if you are interested in NED or body velocity ? Just integrating the accelerations isn't a good option as you still have a lot of unaccounted errors (bias/SF) as well as the gravity.
To get the velocity you should only use the velocity output from the ELLIPSE. However, please keep in mind that only ELLIPSE-E / N/ D INS are able to compute and output a velocity. The ELLIPSE-A is only an AHRS (attitude/heading).

Yes I know, I was just curious how the linear velocities were produced. So I guess I need to use one of the other SBG models.
I am using the Ellipse 2A and since it does not provide linear velocities, I was curious about the
/imu/velocity
msg, which outputs linear velocities.After observing the way the linear velocities are calculated below I have a question.
It seems that the linear velocities are calculated by considering the derivative of linear acceleration. Shouldn't we integrate the linear acceleration instead?
