IMU tools for ROS
===================================

Overview
-----------------------------------

IMU-related filters and visualizers. The stack contains:

 * `imu_filter_madgwick`: a filter which fuses angular velocities,
accelerations, and (optionally) magnetic readings from a generic IMU 
device into an orientation. Based on the work of [1].

 * `rviz_imu_plugin` a plugin for rviz which displays `sensor_msgs::Imu`
messages

Installing
-----------------------------------

### From source ###

Create a directory where you want the package downloaded (ex. `~/ros`), 
and add it to `$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH`.

Make sure you have git installed:

    sudo apt-get install git-core

Download the stack from our repository:

    git clone https://github.com/ccny-ros-pkg/imu_tools.git

Install any dependencies using [rosdep](http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosdep).

    rosdep install imu_tools

Compile the stack:

    rosmake imu_tools
