Mounting the IMU
The IMU should be mounted rigidly to the vehicle mid-way along the wheelbase. Try to position the unit as close as
possible to the centre of the vehicle, making sure it is mounted in the direction of travel - as shown in the image
above. It is also important to mount the sensor so that it is level with the ground.
For best results, mount
the IMU and GPS
antenna as close to each
other as possible. For
example: Bolt the IMU to
the seat rails and place
the GPS antenna on the
roof directly above.
If you are using
an IMU04 or
IMU03, you
must measure
the relative
position of the
antenna in
relation to the
IMU to at least
/- 5cm.
These distances
must then be
entered into
the VBOX either
via VBOX Tools
> VBOX Setup or
using a VBOX
Manager.
