7.5. IMU Output
All IMU output is generated at the IMU frequency of approximately 200 Hz. Note that the
IMU output requires a lot of output bandwidth. For example, on a serial port, the baud
rate must be set high enough for the necessary bandwidth. The exact number depends
on what messages are enabled for the port.
7.5.1. FP_A-RAWIMU
This message contains time and the IMU’s acceleration and angular velocity (raw value,
no bias correction, only coordinate transformation applied) in the sensor frame.
