Problems with high baudrates #14
Comments

Hi hbadino, Sorry for the late reply =P. I have checked the software by setting the baud rate to 460800 and 921600 and imu_rate to 500. However, I cannot reproduce your problem. The software works find at the provided settings. /imu/baudrate=921600 |

Hi, I work with hbadino and we just resolved this issue on our end. We needed to insert a delay in the Imu::selectBaudRate() function, between when the set baud rate command is completed and when the ping() is sent to verify the connection. The manual for the IMU says the there is a 0.25 second delay before the device will respond to commands at the new rate, so we just added a sleep statement (around line 622 of imu.cpp, just before the final ping() attempt in Imu::SelectBaudRate()). If I can find some time I'll try to make a pull request, but I at least wanted to post the note here in case I don't get around to it soon... |

Hi,
first of all, thanks for making this driver open source. I'm pretty sure the robotics community appreciates it.
I have a question regarding the baudrate. I'm able to run my 3DM-GX4-25 without any problems at baudrates 115200 and 230400. Setting the baudrate to 460800 is not always possible and I have to retry several times until it works. The max baudrate of 921600 always fails. The very first time I try with the max baudrate I get this error:

After that first try, I get a different error message which reads:

The second time apparently does not time out, but it is unable to open the device.
After this, it is not possible to restart the device at any other baudrate and the only way to make it work again is to powercycle the IMU and select a lower baudrate.
The behaviour is the same whether connected to serial card or to usb by a serial-to-usb adapter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated it!
