IMU Demonstration

This example showcases how to use the integrated IMU sensor on the OAK-D board with the Depthai sdk. In our example we set the IMU to output data at 400Hz, and batch size to 5. This means we get 5 IMU readings every 12.5ms (2.5ms per reading * 5). We then print out the IMU data to the console.

Note

Visualization in current example is done with blocking behavor. This means that the program will halt at oak.start() until the window is closed. This is done to keep the example simple. For more advanced usage, see Blocking behavior section.

from depthai_sdk import OakCamera

with OakCamera() as oak:

    imu.config_imu(report_rate=400, batch_report_threshold=5)
    # DepthAI viewer should open, and IMU data can be viewed on the right-side panel,
    # under "Stats" tab (right of the "Device Settings" tab).
    oak.visualize(imu.out.main)
    oak.start(blocking=True)
