Autoware's adi_driver Subtree

This directory is part of a subtree fetched from https://github.com/CPFL/adi_driver on the Autoware branch, a fork from the original https://github.com/ros-drivers/velodyne

This repo adds specific functions for Autoware. If you need to modify any file inside this folder structure, please use the following commands to either push or fetch changes from the subtree. All the commands written here will suppose you're in the root of Autoware path.

Original README below

adi_driver

This package contains ROS driver nodes for Analog Devices(ADI) sensor products mainly communicate by SPI(Serial Periferal Interface).

Currently supported devices are:

• ADIS16470

  • Wide Dynamic Range Mini MEMS IMU

• ADXL345:

  • 3-Axis, ±2 g/±4 g/±8 g/±16 g Digital Accelerometer
  • The support for this device is experimental
    

You need a SPI interface on your PC to communicate with device. This package supports Devantech's USB-IIS as the USB-SPI converter.

USB-IIS

Overview

USB-IIS is a USB to Serial/I2C/SPI converter, simple, small and easy to use. You don't need any extra library like libusb or libftdi. The device is available on /dev/ttyACM* as modem device.

Please consult the product information and SPI documentation for the detail.

Tips

You need to remove the jumper block on Power link pins to provide 3.3V for the device.

You need to add your user to dialout group to acces /dev/ttyACM* .

If it takes several seconds until /dev/ttyACM* available, you need to
uninstall modemmanager as:

$ sudo apt remove modemmanager ```

ADIS16470

Overview

ADIS16470 is a complete inertial system that includes a triaxis gyroscope and a triaxis accelerometer.

You can use Breakout board for easy use.

Connection

You need to build a flat cable to connect the USB-ISS and the ADIS16470 breakout board. The picture shows a implementation.

Very simple schematic is here. J1 is the USB-ISS pin and J2 is the 2mm pin headers on the ADIS16470 breakout board.

Note: you only need to connect one of the power-line(3.3V and GND). They are connected in the breakout board.

BOM

• J1: 2550 Connector 6pin
  • Available at Akiduki
• J2: FCI Connector for 1.0mm pitch ribon cables
  • Available at RS Components
• 1.0 mm pitch ribon cable
  • Available at Aitendo

Quick start

Connect your sensor to USB port. Run the launch file as:

$ roslaunch adi_driver adis16470.launch

You can see the model of ADIS16470 breakout board in rviz panel.

ADXL345

Overview

The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16g. At this moment, support for this device is experimental.
