0.7.11 (2021-04-09)

0.7.10 (2020-06-03)

• Update maintainers in package.xml
• Fix wrong defaults for standard deviations (#46) The old parameter defaults were wrong: | parameter | old default | new default | | | | | | angular_velocity_stdev | 0.000349056 rad/s (= 0.02 deg/s) | 0.001658 rad/s (= 0.095deg/s) | | linear_acceleration_stdev | 0.002943 m/s\^2 (= 0.0003 g) | 0.002745862 m/s\^2 (= 0.00028 g) | | magnetic_field_stdev | 0.001658 rad/s (= 0.095deg/s) | 1.1e-7 T (= 1.1 mG) | Notes: T = Tesla, mG = milligauss Specifications come from the PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3 1044_0 data sheet: https://www.phidgets.com/?&prodid=32
• Improve the IMU calibration service (#41)
• Run clang-format on the whole codebase.
• Switch to C++14 everywhere.
• Change API from separate open/waitForAttachment to openAndWaitForAttachment.
• Small cleanups throughout the code.
• Push libphidgets API calls down to phidgets_api.
• IMU: small fixes found by turning on compiler warnings.
• Completely remove boost from the project.
• Remove unused tf dependency from phidgets_imu.
• Switch to package format 2.

0.7.9 (2019-06-28)

0.7.8 (2019-05-06)

0.7.7 (2018-09-18)

• Add parameter use_imu_time (default true) (#27) Setting use_imu_time to false will disable the imu time calibration and always use the Host time, i.e. ros::Time::now().
• Contributors: Jochen Sprickerhof

0.7.6 (2018-08-09)

• phidgets_imu: Ensure strictly ordered timestamps (#26) Fixes #17.
• Contributors: Michael Grupp, Martin Günther

0.7.5 (2018-01-31)

• phidgets_imu: Add roslaunch_add_file_check
• phidgets_imu: Add diagnostic_aggregator dependency
• phidgets_imu: Add missing install rule for config
• update to use non deprecated pluginlib macro (#19)
• Contributors: Martin Günther, Mikael Arguedas

0.7.4 (2017-10-04)

0.7.3 (2017-06-30)

0.7.2 (2017-06-02)

• First release into Lunar
• phidgets_imu: Add use_magnetic_field_msg to launch This is required in Jade: Since Jade, phidgets_imu publishes MagneticField messages, but imu_filter_madgwick still subscribes by default to Vector3Stamped messages. When running as nodelets, this can produce a silent error. In Kinetic, this is optional: imu_filter_madgwick now defaults to MagneticField. From Lunar on, it should be removed, because the use_magnetic_field_msg param was removed from imu_filter_madgwick.

0.7.1 (2017-05-22)

• phidgets_imu: add optional serial number parameter (#7)
• phidgets_imu: Add imu_filter_madgwick dependency Closes #9.
• Contributors: Johan M. von Behren, Martin Günther

0.7.0 (2017-02-17)

• Publish MagneticField instead of Vector3Stamped
• Report mag data in Tesla, not Gauss This is to conform with sensor_msgs/MagneticField, which requires the data to be in Tesla.
• Contributors: Martin Günther

0.2.3 (2017-02-17)

• Add IMU diagnostics (#24)
• Set data rate after reattachment This fixes a bug where after disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, the data rate would be set to the default of 125 Hz (= period of 8ms). By moving the setDataRate call to the attachHandler, the data rate is correctly set after each reattachment.

0.2.2 (2015-03-23)

• Merge pull request #18 from ccny-ros-pkg/libphidgets Merge libphidgets branch into indigo
• set orientation_covariance[0] to -1 from Imu.msg: > If you have no estimate for one of the data elements (e.g. your IMU doesn't produce an orientation > estimate), please set element 0 of the associated covariance matrix to -1.
• phidgets_imu: fixed issue #9
• Contributors: Martin Günther, Murilo FM

0.2.1 (2015-01-15)

• add boost depends to CMakeLists All non-catkin things that we expose in our headers should be added to the DEPENDS, so that packages which depend on our package will also automatically link against it. Also see: http://answers.ros.org/question/58498/what-is-the-purpose-of-catkin_depends/\#58593
• improve error output when setting compass corr params The previous implementation didn't catch a number of error codes (EPHIDGET_INVALIDARG, EPHIDGET_NOTATTACHED, EPHIDGET_UNEXPECTED), and the new one is more elegant and consistent with the previous code anyway.
• Set compass correction params on the device Tested with a Phidget Spatial 3/3/3 1044.
• phidgets_imu: install phidgets_imu_nodelet.xml
• phidgets_imu: not exporting nodelet as library anymore
• Updated version, maintainer and author information
• phidgets_imu: added install rule to launch files
• phidgets_imu: removed unnecessary dependency
• Deleted comments within files of all packages
• Catkinised packages
• Merge pull request #1 from uos/fix_imu_time_lag fix IMU time lag
• add some hints to error message I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why the IMU works on one computer and doesn't on another one. Felt a little foolish when I found out that the udev rules weren't installed; maybe providing some more info in the error message helps others.
• use ros::Time::now() if time lag exceeds threshold
• added warning if IMU time lags behind ROS time
• renamed rate parameter to period
• added timestamp in imu data
• fixed cmakelists by including lib to compile on electric
• adding missing imu_ros h file
• adding missing imu_ros cpp file
• added api, imu and ir
• initial commit
