Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Analog Devices FIRST Sensor Donation
I am looking for a little advice on the 16448 IMU board.

When we first got it we tested things and it seemed to be working as expected (the IMU SmartDashboard widget would move correctly with motion of the IMU). Now that it is install on the robot, it seems not to respond the same. We get what appears to be a rate return instead of a position. The z angle changes as we spin the robot (our robot spins in circles really well), however when we stop the angle returns to 0. It appears like it is tracking the rate and not angle.

Does anyone know of a failure mode where this would happen? Any suggestions?

Thanks
