How can there be a difference in quaternion values of two points taken from sensors where the orientation is exactly same?
I have two situations-
A) One, the body with sensor embedded in it kept at rest.
B) Second, the body is at rest for 10 secs, then undergoes some movement randomly and comes back to the exact ...

Finding North direction from magnetometer and accelerometer fusion
I was understanding accelerometer and gyro sensor fusion from this video. At time 3:56, Brian says:
To get north, we need to do some cross products. We can start with our measured mag (magnetometer) ...

How to convert accel data to quaternion?
To ask my question better, let's assume that I have created 2 different accel data:
timestamp
accel_x (m/s^2)
accel_y (m/s^2)
accel_z (m/s^2)

I'm controlling a stepper motor with GPIO pins with a for loop in C++. If I add a sensor reading to the for loop the motor gets slow, loud, and jerky
I have a C++ script actuating a motor and getting an accelerometer sensor reading every 20th or so pulse to the stepper motor. My problem is that the sensor readings are interrupting the pulses. ...

How would you sync a real life accelerometer with an accelerometer in a simulation program
How would you sync a real life accelerometer with an accelerometer in a simulation program.
In this case I am using MuJoCo for simulation and a Gy-521 is my physical, real life accelerometer.

Can a Madgwick IMU filter be used to determinate the tilt angle with respect to the horizontal plane
I am using a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to estimate the tilte angle between the X axis of the IMU sensor and the ground (horizontal plane). My robot is stationary at power up, so I ...
