Hi,

My Python3 code works perfectly in the simulator. However, with the real robot I’m not getting IMU Data for Angular Velocity or Linear Acceleration. The values are just 0.

Hi @dmkorn, the real robot unfortunately does not have an IMU.

Is this code for a specific official project? If so, could you tell me which one?

Cheers

Hi Rodrigo,

This is for the final project in the “Python 3 for Robotics” course. In the “Native Obstacle Avoider” algorithm there is an instruction to “5. Also, print the current angular velocity values and linear acceleration values of the robot using the functions you wrote earlier to get the IMU data.” If the current real robot does not have an IMU, perhaps this can be changed to printing the specified linear and angular velocity instead.

Regards, Daniel

Hi @dmkorn,

That is also fine.
