Hi All,
Having some trouble with the IMU MO.
How can I make the IMU autostart on Ubuntu? When plugg it in I need to serial monitor and press space. Making the ros node not pushing data in default.

On my other computer a MAC, it works direct when I open serial monitor and its start pushing data.

any suggestions?

Mine immediately prints data when I connect it on Ubuntu and cat the serial port.

Try this: Plug it in, and type:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/ttyACM0 bs=10

This will read data from the serial port ttyACM0 and print it to your terminal. You should see the data output stream without having to send a space character.
