| - | ====== IMU Calibration ====== | ||
| - | This page describes how to calibrate the TRAX IMU in Linux. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Getting Started ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | *To calibrate the TRAX IMU, PNI Trax Studio must be used, which can be found [[https://www.pnicorp.com/trax-ahrs/| here]]. You will also need the user manual which details how various calibrations should be performed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | *Since PNI Trax Studio is a windows application you will also need Wine installed. | ||
| - | <NOTE: Calibration must be performed on the sub!> | ||
| - | |||
| - | sudo aptitude install wine-stable winehq-stable | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Installing PNI Trax Studio ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | *With Wine installed, install PNI Trax Studio using default/recommended setup. | ||
| - | unzip TRAX-Studio-1.0.2.zip | ||
| - | wine msiexec /i TRAX-Studio-1.0.2.msi | ||
| - | or | ||
| - | wine start TRAX-Studio-1.0.2.msi | ||
| - | |||
| - | With TRAX Studio installed, we need to make sure TRAX Studio will recognize our IMU. To do this we need to link our | ||
| - | virtual COM ports to our TRAX device. To do this we create a symbolic link between the two. With the latest versions of wine (wine 3.0.3 as of writing) we must edit our windows registry to connect these devices. | ||
| - | |||
| - | *Follow the steps according to the wine [[https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_Guide#Serial_and_Parallel_Ports| wiki]] using any COM and the value /dev/TRAX | ||
| - | |||
| - | *For earlier versions of wine (prior to 2.8) use | ||
| - | ln -s /dev/TRAX ~/.wine/dosdevices/com | ||
| - | replacing the com on the end with the com device you wish to connect. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Running TRAX Studio ==== | ||
| - | *To run TRAX Studio after setup, simply start it as any other wine program | ||
| - | wine .wine/drive_c/{path to file} | ||
| - | |||
| - | *When launched, you will want to select the COM port you linked to the TRAX in the previous section and click connect. | ||
| - | |||
| - | *Follow the instructions detailed in the user manual under Section 5, User Calibration. (Typically Full-Range Calibration). | ||
| - | |||
| - | *Further information on operation of TRAX Studio can be found in the manual under Section 6, Operation With Trax Studio. | ||
