Alan F,
You might be interested in this ROS package:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/razor_imu_9dof
I had problems getting it to "compile", but then as the author advised
me in an email, it's mostly PY, so shouldn't need to be rosmake.
"I edited cmake_install.cmake, makefile and cmakecache.txt files to fix
the path, and ran rosmake. this time all compiles!"
There is a Python program to show the action with VPython, but I haven't
been able to get both Python 2.7.3 and VPython to run on my XP Pro. I
suppose it's not needed, as long as the Razor can interfaced with ROS.
This gives you 9DOF readings for ROS. I'm hoping they are standard
messages so that other ROS packages can read them! Need a nice package
for a GPS. I have a couple, but GPS generates NEMA #0813 messages, so
I'm guessing there's something already.
These new Locosys and uBlox GPS modules even work indoors! And the
Locosys GPS has GPSFox and MiniGPS programs to support it (under
Windoz)! I need to make up a USB-TTL3.3 cable for the uBlox to see if
the programs work on the uBlox. Although it has a support program too.
