mrpt::hwdrivers::CIMUXSens Class Referenceabstract

Detailed Description

A class for interfacing XSens 3rd generation Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs), the "XSens MTi" model.

It uses a serial port or USB-to-serial adapter to communicate to the device, so no special drivers are needed. For the more recent 4th generation devices, see the class mrpt::hwdrivers::CIMUXSens_MT4

See also the application "rawlog-grabber" for a ready-to-use application to gather data from the scanner.

PARAMETERS IN THE ".INI"-LIKE CONFIGURATION STRINGS:
-------------------------------------------------------

Member Function Documentation

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservation ( const mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr obj)
inlineprotectedinherited

Like appendObservations() but for just one observation.

Definition at line 146 of file CGenericSensor.h.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservations ( const std::vector< mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr > &  obj)
protectedinherited

This method must be called by derived classes to enqueue a new observation in the list to be returned by getObservations.

Passed objects must be created in dynamic memory and a smart pointer passed. Example of creation:

mrpt::obs::CObservationGPSPtr o = CObservationGPSPtr( new CObservationGPS() );
o-> .... // Set data

If several observations are passed at once in the vector, they'll be considered as a block regarding the grabbing decimation factor.

static CGenericSensor* mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensor ( const std::string &  className)
staticinherited

Creates a sensor by a name of the class.

Typically the user may want to create a smart pointer around the returned pointer, whis is made with:

Returns
A pointer to a new class, or NULL if class name is unknown.
static CGenericSensorPtr mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensorPtr ( const std::string &  className)
inlinestaticinherited

Just like createSensor, but returning a smart pointer to the newly created sensor object.

static void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::registerClass ( const TSensorClassId pNewClass)
staticinherited

Register a class into the internal list of "CGenericSensor" descendents.

Used internally in the macros DEFINE_GENERIC_SENSOR, etc...

Can be used as "CGenericSensor::registerClass( SENSOR_CLASS_ID(CMySensor) );" if building custom sensors outside mrpt libraries in user code.

protected

Search the port where the sensor is located and connect to it.

virtual void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::setPathForExternalImages ( const std::string &  directory)
inlinevirtualinherited

Set the path where to save off-rawlog image files (will be ignored in those sensors where this is not applicable).

An empty string (the default value at construction) means to save images embedded in the rawlog, instead of on separate files.

Exceptions
std::exceptionIf the directory doesn't exists and cannot be created.

Reimplemented in mrpt::hwdrivers::CCameraSensor, mrpt::hwdrivers::CKinect, mrpt::hwdrivers::COpenNI2Sensor, mrpt::hwdrivers::COpenNI2_RGBD360, and mrpt::hwdrivers::CSwissRanger3DCamera.
