Description
The LSM6DSM IMU Sensor block measures linear acceleration and angular rate along the X, Y, and Z axis using the LSM6DSM Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor interfaced with the Raspberry Pi® hardware. This 6-Degree of Freedom (DoF) IMU sensor comprises of an accelerometer and gyroscope used to measure linear acceleration and angular rate, respectively. The block also measures the temperature from the embedded temperature sensor in LSM6DSM Sensor.
You can also use the composite filter option in the block for the accelerometer values, and use the high pass and low pass filter options for gyroscope values.
Ports
Output
You can select the active sensor(s) to measure angular velocity, acceleration, temperature, or a combination of these measurements.
Acceleration — Acceleration along each axis as measured by accelerometer
vector
The block outputs acceleration as a 1
-by-3
vector. Each value represents the measurement of acceleration in
m/s^2
along the X, Y, and Z axes.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Acceleration (m/s2) parameter.
Data Types: double
Angular Velocity — Angular velocity along each axis as measured by gyroscope
vector
The block outputs angular velocity as a
1
-by-3
vector. Each value represents the
measurement of angular velocity in radians per second (rad/s) along the X, Y, and Z
axes.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Angular Velocity (rad/s) parameter.
Data Types: double
Temperature — Temperature measured by LSM6DSM sensor
scalar
Temperature (in ℃) measured by LSM6DSM sensor connected to Raspberry Pi board.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Temperature (℃) parameter.
Data Types: double
Status — Status of acceleration, angular velocity and temperature measurements
-1
| 0
| 1
Status of acceleration, angular velocity and temperature measurements, specified
as a 1-by-3 vector. 0
indicates that the data read is new,
1
indicates that the data read is not new, and
-1
indicates that the corresponding output is not
selected.
Dependencies
This output port appears only if you select the Status parameter.
Data Types: int8
