[Kyler Laird]

solosito,

Now that I've had a taste of working with the IMU, I desperately want fusion.  I need remedial help.

One of the issues I've had is that I've wanted to incorporate the yaw and roll data from the dual GPS.  I'm leaning hard toward switching to a single GPS(/GNSS) receiver.  That should make my configuration a bit more standard.

Today I installed nmea_navsat_driver and the TinkerForge sensor driver.  I now have /fix, /vel, and /tfsensors/imu1 (among others).  Unfortunately, my GPS went sour last night and I can't get RTK now.  I'll be debugging it for awhile.

I'm looking at the steps that xqms suggests.  Converting the /fix data to UTM seems straightforward enough but the transforms are completely beyond me.  I would love to have a simple concrete step to take toward this.

Also, I'm back to studying robot_localization.  Again, I'm encountering the odometry requirement.
