This week I validated the real time streaming from the sensors after our new wires came in. I worked on calibrating the sensor, but came across some difficulties on how to so based on the Adafruit documentation. However, I managed to find a way to calibrate them after research on the device and looking through sample code. I managed to calibrate 3/4 metrics reported from the sensor, but was unable to calibrate the acceleration vector, thus was unable to compare readings to a ground truth context for now. I have since found a method that should work to calibrate acceleration from the BNO055 GitHub and will verify this in the coming week. For next week I plan to solidify the calibration status on the sensors and become more comfortable with how to program what we want the sensor to do. Then I will begin some initial tests comparing the sensor to ground truth.
I am slightly behind from figuring out the calibration issues and haven’t been able to test the sensors on a barbell yet, but aside from this, other aspects seem to be on schedule. However, testing the sensors on a barbell goes hand-in-hand to comparing the sensor data to the ground truth model, which is expected to be done next week.
