docs errors about scikit-kinematics HOT 11 CLOSED

def __init__(self, in_file = None, q_type='analytical', R_init = np.eye(3), calculate_position=True, pos_init = np.zeros(3), in_data = None ):
This is the code for IMU_Base. Is it possible that you have an old version, and should update (currently 6.9)
And regarding the position calculation: I don't know your sensors. But my guess would be that the answer is a simple "no". For example, if you can accept an error of +/- 1 m, and you want to record for 10 min, then your accelerometer would need to have a drift of less than 6 micrometer/sec^2

imus.analytical argument order differs in some places, better be named arguments consistently

from scikit-kinematics.

Hi Ivan,
I fixed the first problem.
With the second I am not sure I understand you correctly: do you mean that the function "kalman" has the arguments in a different order (def kalman(rate, acc, omega, mag)) as analytical?
If that is the case, I have fixed it: now the argument sequence in analytical is:
def analytical(rate, accMeasured, omega, initialPosition, R_initialOrientation)

Please let me know if you had that in mind, or something else.

from scikit-kinematics.

I meant that the docs on site and the source code have different argument orders, thus yielding an error if developer decides to use positional arguments rather than named.

The docs after your recent edits still don't match the sources, and you broke the interface in case someone used positional arguments.

Is the current version ok? Or do you see any remaining problems?

from scikit-kinematics.

Seems OK. You should also add imus.pos field. Pretty valuable.

from scikit-kinematics.

Done. Watch out, though, that minute offsets in the accelerometers can lead to erroneous values quickly!

from scikit-kinematics.

calculate_position=True argument to imus.IMU_Base constructor is absent and thus effectively ignored in source 0.6.8 because imus.py, line 235 position value is never used in def _calc_orientation(self).

...minute offsets in the accelerometers...

You mean I can't calculate position by using just angular speed and acceleration if duration of a record is several minutes long?

“mahony” … Mahony algorithm, using, acc and omega

In fact, Mahony uses mag too.
