Mag Align function on OPENIMU300RI

Arnaud Van Genechten

Hello,

I have been working with the OPENIMU300RI eval kit for some time but I am struggling to make the mag align functionality work. I figured out which CAN message to send and I indeed get a reply from the IMU but I don’t know what the bytes mean. I haven't seen any document explaining how it works on the 300RI. Is there a way to make the IMU send a continuous message with the progress of the procedure once it is started?

Thanks.

The status of mag alignment needs to be periodically polled while system does full circle (plus some)
After alignment finishes the values can be permanently stored

Thank you Andrey !

Is there a way to abort the aligment?
