Mahony AHRS implement in IMU example is wrong. #125

Open Menginventor opened 3 years ago

Menginventor commented 3 years ago

In MahonyAHRS.cpp specify update frequency to 25Hz but the example use delay of 1000 ms. So the algorith is wrong and this code is useless.

Ignore their copy, it uses hardcoded and global variables that are for the most part wrong. Just use the https://x-io.co.uk/open-source-imu-and-ahrs-algorithms/ version and save yourself tons of heartache. You can replace their MPU6886::getAhrsData. Also, note that samples will be a bit off unless you can ensure that the average sample rate is in fact what you put in the Mahony::begin(...). In my case, I ended up getting the average time for the "loop" call for a few seconds and then using that for the sampling frequency. Sadly you will find the numbers are pretty much garbage though due to #124.

Hmm what the product.... I really hope some bugfix from the source.

Oh, these guys have sweet hardware, but their code is a trainwreck :) I am actually working on consolidating them all right now. The StickC is awesome for ESPHome.
