Dear ROS users,

Thanks everybody for feedback. I just contributed a working sensor driver
for Razor IMU 9 DOF sensor board. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9623,
my razor_imu_9dof package can handle different version of Razor board
hardware which requires different firmware to be uploaded to the board
(Thanks to https://dev.qu.tu-berlin.de/projects/sf-razor
-9dof-ahrs/wiki/Tutorial which its firmware are included in this ROS
package). On top of that, this sensor board is very accurate, responsive
and good for robot. This version of firmware is able to be calibrated and
thus further increase the board accuracy. Best of all, I included a 3D
visualization testing for this package. The message node can be run as
standalone because I had split the visualization and message node into two
different node. Therefore it can run very fast and practical.

The razor IMU board will be used in my (very) new eddiebot project as its
IMU sensor

Hi Tang,

I'm glad to see this! I've always liked the Razor, but it did need better
firmware.

I couldn't find a link to the firmware or your interface driver. Can you
provide a link directly to the razor package?

Also, you should consider using
http://www.ros.org/wiki/depthimage_to_laserscan instead of
pointcloud_to_laserscan. It should use a lot less CPU in most situations
and can be run on platforms without PCL.

Hi Tully,

I have put a note to the following tutorials on stage controllers about
incompatibility with Fuerte and Groovy. Stage 4.1.1 has had issues with
these tutorials which were designed on Stage 3.2.2 (Diamondback and
Electric).

Best regards,

Arkapravo
