Our team is starting to work on having our robot align to the target for shooting in the autonomous period and has decided to use the NavX-MXP. We've read that calibration is very important in order to get absolute heading, but I'm a little confused about calibrating the magnetometer based on our robot setup.
We can't use the default yaw axis orientation because of the orientation of our RoboRio and read on the navX website that we can use the OmniMount feature to adjust for this when needing yaw axis readings:
http://www.pdocs.kauailabs.com/navx-...ion/omnimount/. Ours is mounted exactly like the picture on that site shows.
However, the magnetometer calibration page doesn't mention how to adjust calibration if the board is not in the expected orientation on the robot. Do we still follow the calibration method outlined on the
website and just make sure that we are using it's "new" x,y,z axis when taking data points or is this not necessary? Lastly, should we be doing this calibration while the board is in the robot and the robot is on?
