Be clear that sensor frames include data at two instants, not two different IMUs #10
Comments
Is "dumb blonde" still socially acceptable? In any case, from... https://github.com/gusmanb/PSVRFramework/wiki/Report---Sensor-Data
Try to avoid calling things "Gyroscope 2" and "Accelerometer 2" since that strongly gives the impression that there are in fact two of each. Still, even without reading "2" I don't know if I would've automatically assumed that these are samples instead of two sensor housings with independent internal clocks. |
Our documentation contains this comment. I also want to write a little bit more about it once the question in #2 is answered. // Two readouts from the BMI055 IMU at different time instants.
//
// The integer values within are between -32768 and 32767, i.e.
// they can take the entire range of a 16-bit signed int.
//
// These values can be converted to [-1.0, +1.0] floats by
// casting to float and simply dividing by 32768.
//
// FIXME: Find out the time delta between these two measurements,
// document it. |
That is good, but I'm not sure // comments are ideal, because I did look over this page once, and that did not stand out to me at the time. I would change "different" to subsequent. EDITED: I also, strongly advise to use the word "sample" because developers understand that word instinctively I believe. "Two samples" would be a stronger lead, whereas "readout" is ambiguous, until the end of the statement. |
Just for what it's worth, I've been working with the PSVR for a while, going on what is available on the WWW. The way there are 2 sets of figures in the USB data, for the sensors, gave me the impression that there was actually 2 sets of sensors inside there.
It may sound dumb, but I think it's worth including explicit notes wherever the USB structured data is displayed, that they are two samples, packed together for USB protocol reasons. Thanks!
