Hi folks, It's my first experience with sensors etc. I'm trying to use the InterSense NavChip[1] IMU (Inertial measurement unit) sensor with Fedora. Would anyone know how to go about this? The sensor is detected as /dev/ttyUSB0 I've tried both moserial and cutecom. Cutecom doesn't show ttyUSB0 at all. Is there a way of "converting" ttyUSB0 to serial, i.e., ttyS*? (Is this an issue?) This is what dmesg says on device connection and disconnection: > [100975.794455] usb 2-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd > [100975.881230] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60 > [100975.881236] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 > [100975.881241] usb 2-1.1: Product: CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller > [100975.881244] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs > [100975.881247] usb 2-1.1: SerialNumber: 0001 > [100975.882402] cp210x 2-1.1:1.0: cp210x converter detected > [100975.945080] usb 2-1.1: reset full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd > [100976.031277] usb 2-1.1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 > [102143.137564] usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 8 > [102143.138220] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 > [102143.138251] cp210x 2-1.1:1.0: device disconnected I've uploaded the reference documents to my fedora people space here[2] if any one wants to take a look. The packet format for the sensor is also given in the docs above. I've also asked a question on stackexchange which has more info (dmesg + attempts with the sample program that intersense have provided)[3] (Please feel free to direct me to any documentation for dummies if that would improve my understanding of the subject) [1]http://www.intersense.com/pages/16/16/ [2]http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/navchip/ [3]http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/36874/would-anyone-know-how-to-use-the-intersense-navchip-sensor-with-linux -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.
