Drift Compensation / Angle Reset – Chapter 4
4.2 Angle reset
The drift changes the absolute angle measurement over time. That means that if the
vehicle crosses the same place again after some time, the absolute angle output will
be different from the last time. This doesn‘t influence the validity of the actual angle
calculation. However it may be desirable to reset the angle to 0
o
when the vehicle
reaches defined points on the course. In order to do so the vehicle controller (e.g.
PLC) can trigger the
Set angle to 0
command (CAN).

Angle reset process
Via CAN set the corresponding bit to 1, which also immediately sets the response in
the status bit to 1. At the same time the Gyro resets the angle. Then set the CAN bit
back to 0 until you want to reset the angle again. The status bit remains set as longs
as the trigger bit is set.
