Check whether IMU is up and running

WouterOddBot

Hi,

When we start the Oak-D camera, sometimes its IMU doesn't work. Starting the camera again often resolves the problem. What is the easiest/safest way to automatically check that the camera's IMU is up and running?

So far we just get a queue for the imu stream and waiting until we get a message. If after 5 secs we didn't get a message, we restart the camera. But perhaps there's a better way?

Thanks in advance

Hi WouterOddBot
IMU should work at all times if instantiated. Could you give more info so we can possibly debug the core issue?

Device, depthai version, pipeline, reproducible code,..?

Thanks,
Jaka

Hi Jaka,

Ok so we're using this device:
https://shop.luxonis.com/products/oak-d-poe

And this depthai version:
depthai==2.26.0.0

If it comes to the pipeline and reproducible code, could we also discuss this in a meeting? It might be a bit complicated to share everything here.

Kind regards,
Wouter

Hi @WouterOddBot
Looks like the issue was solved over email with one of your colleagues. The resolution was to update depthai version to latest develop - GH run, where a fix was pushed that should stop this from happening in the future.

Thanks,

And when will this update be available in pip?

Hi @WouterOddBot
On the next main release.

Thanks,

Could you please put out the next main release very soon? It's a nightmare to put your develop version on every robot we have, and this bug is super annoying.

Should be on main as of 2.27 release.

Thanks,

Installed 2.27 and indeed looks like it's better now. Thanks a lot.
