Inferring gyroscope range

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Your readme says:

Gyroscope range (in degrees pe second). Angular rate recovery will activate if the gyroscope measurement exceeds 98% of this value. A value of zero will disable this feature. The value should be set to the range specified in the gyroscope datasheet.

(nit: typo in "degrees pe second")

I'm using Fusion on IMU data from some hardware I don't have the datasheet for. Do you have any advice for how to figure out this parameter if I don't know it ahead of time?

Here, I figured I'd just fix the typo: #137

Thank you for pointing out the typo. If you are using an off-the-shelf product then I suggest you search for the product documentation online. If you are using a custom-designed product then I suggest you ask the designer. The gyroscopeRange is an optional setting that is only used to detect excessive angular rates. If you are unsure then I suggest you leave the feature disabled (value of zero).

Makes sense, thanks!
