SensorCombined (UORB message)

Sensor readings in SI-unit form. These fields are scaled and offset-compensated where possible and do not. change with board revisions and sensor updates.

TOPICS: sensor_combined

Fields

Name Type Unit [Frame] Range/Enum Description
timestamp uint64 time since system start (microseconds)
gyro_rad float32[3] average angular rate measured in the FRD body frame XYZ-axis in rad/s over the last gyro sampling period
gyro_integral_dt uint32 gyro measurement sampling period in microseconds
accelerometer_timestamp_relative int32 timestamp + accelerometer_timestamp_relative = Accelerometer timestamp
accelerometer_m_s2 float32[3] average value acceleration measured in the FRD body frame XYZ-axis in m/s^2 over the last accelerometer sampling period
accelerometer_integral_dt uint32 accelerometer measurement sampling period in microseconds
accelerometer_clipping uint8 bitfield indicating if there was any accelerometer clipping (per axis) during the integration time frame
gyro_clipping uint8 bitfield indicating if there was any gyro clipping (per axis) during the integration time frame
accel_calibration_count uint8 Calibration changed counter. Monotonically increases whenever accelermeter calibration changes.
gyro_calibration_count uint8 Calibration changed counter. Monotonically increases whenever rate gyro calibration changes.

Constants

Name Type Value Description
RELATIVE_TIMESTAMP_INVALID int32 2147483647 (0x7fffffff) If one of the relative timestamps is set to this value, it means the associated sensor values are invalid
CLIPPING_X uint8 1
CLIPPING_Y uint8 2
CLIPPING_Z uint8 4
