Adding a time delay to ArduIMU sensor calibration

Posted by DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner on October 20, 2010 at 3:20am

Hi,

Due to a lack of space, I have had to mount my ArduIMU on a battery cover in my airframe, the trouble is the ArduIMU starts calibrating before I can get the cover back on after plugging the battery back in!

Does anyone else need an optional time delay in the ArduIMU sensor callibration? (In which case I will try to open a feature request) or can someone point me towards some code and where to paste it in!

Many thanks

Yeah that would be nice.if the board supports it, then adding a hardware solution such as a switch mounted to the exterior of the battery door could be useful. You could add the delay anywhere before the cal routine, such as early in the setup portion of the code.
