:mod:`imu` --- imu sensor ========================= .. module:: imu :synopsis: imu sensor The ``imu`` module is used for reading the 6-DOF `LSM6DS3 `_ IMU sensor under the camera sensor. .. note:: The IMU sensor (and this module) is not present on all OpenMV Cam models. Functions --------- .. function:: acceleration_mg() Returns the acceleration for (x, y, z) in a float tuple in milli-g's. For when the camera board is lying on a table face up: X points to the right of the camera sensor Y points down below the camera sensor (towards the bottom on the board) Z points in the reverse direction of the camera sensor (into the table) .. function:: angular_rate_mdps() Returns the angular rate for (x, y, z) in a float tuple in milli-degrees-per-second. For when the camera board is lying on a table face up: X points to the right of the camera sensor Y points down below the camera sensor (towards the bottom on the board) Z points in the reverse direction of the camera sensor (into the table) .. function:: temperature_c() Returns the temperature in celsius (float). .. function:: roll() Returns the rotation angle in degrees (float) of the camera module. * 0 -> Camera is standing up. * 90 -> Camera is roated left. * 180 -> Camera is upside down. * 270 -> Camera is rotated right. .. function:: pitch() Returns the rotation angle in degrees (float) of the camera module. * 0 -> Camera is standing up. * 90 -> Camera is pointing down. * 180 -> Camera is upside down. * 270 -> Camera is pointing up. .. function:: sleep(enable) Pass ``True`` to put the IMU sensor to sleep. ``False`` to wake it back up (the default). .. function:: __write_reg(addr, val) Set 8-bit LSM6DS3 register ``addr`` to 8-bit ``val``. .. function:: __read_reg(addr) Get 8-bit LSM6DS3 register ``addr``.
