I’m using an Xsens MTI-710 sensor, and I’m experiencing a very low accuracy (up to about 50 meters, horizontally), when the sensor is connected to the Xavier board. If the sensor is connected to a Windows laptop using the Xsens MT Manager software, the precision drop to less than 5 meters.
In the following image it is possible to see the track recorded using the Xavier with the recorder-tui
application (the black line) and a set of 4 other records (green, red, yellow and cyan lines), made using a laptop and the Xsens MT Manager software.
The recording where made the same day, on the same vehicle (so the GPS antenna was not moved). The drawn black line is from the last of the loops we performed, so the sensor was working from many minutes and had enough time to align. Immediately after the end of the loop, we performed the recording on the same route using Xsens MT Manager software. Also, when recording with the laptop, and it find a very good position just in some seconds. The behavior is present both when we travel in a city zone or in open fields.
-
What could be the cause of this position error?
-
Also, there is some place where ALL the possible sensor parameters for the Xsens sensor are described?
Using the sample_sensors_info, the parameters showed are:
gps.xsens ? device=0[,frequency=100,xsens-raw-gps=true,time-smoothing=false,fifo-size=1024,baudrate=115200,stop-bits=2]
The frequency
, baudrate
and stop-bits
parameters are for the serial connection, and the fifo-size
is the dimension of the buffer to store the received data.
- What behavior do the
xsens-raw-gps
andtime-smoothing
parameters control?
In this forum thread (which is for the IMU section of the sensor):
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-can-i-get-xsens-imu-data-which-set-own-setting/147330
is described that exists also the slave=1
or slave=true
parameter, and in the section from the
/usr/local/driveworks/tools/capture/configs/rwd/hyperion7_1/release.json
file, another parameter is added (index_table=off
) that is not in the output from sample_sensors_info
. Both the slave
and index_table
parameters can not be found in the documentation (I checked also on the online documentation for driveworks-4.0 release).
-
Are the
slave
andindex_table
parameters applicable also for the GPS configuration? What do they mean? -
There are other un-documented parameters?
-
Does setting
slave=true
means that also the GPS sensor retains the configuration set previously using the Xsens utility?
