Arguments

file_path

A string that contains the full file path.

imu_type

A string that contains a supported IMU type given below.

Value

Thanks goes to Philipp Clausen of Labo TOPO, EPFL, Switzerland, topo.epfl.ch, Tel:[phone] for providing a matlab function that reads in IMUs. The function below is a heavily modified port of MATLAB code into Armadillo/C++.

Examples

## Not run: 
# read_imu(file_path = "F:/Desktop/short_test_data.imu", imu_type = "IXSEA")
