Introduce

ESPrtk also supports IMU peripheral sensor. (Accelerometer / Gyroscope / Magnetometer).

High-precision IMU / INS data is processed in real time with low delay, sensor read-up frequency can up to 200Hz.

When enabled, ESPrtk will communicate with MPU9250 and send raw data, calibration data and filter data to Bluetooth device (client).

This function can run as a parallel task with the main action on both Rover and Base.

Note ! this feature only support on ESPrtk Ver 3.9.8 or higher.

<CS><CR><LF> :

• <CS> :  a checksum represented as a two-digit hexadecimal number. The checksum is the bitwise exclusive OR of ASCII codes of all characters between the ($ )and  (*).  (does not include $ and * ).
• <CR> : “Carriage return”  or ‘\r’ or ‘0x0D in hex’ (13 in decimal) 
• <LF> : “Line Feed” or ‘\n’ or ‘0x0A in hex ‘ (10 in decimal)   .

Calculate checksum – algorithm :

#include <stdio.h>

const char  MSG[]= "$ESPIM2|81|0.16|-0.09|-0.98|0.04|168.72|-172.96|-18.37|39.75|||||166.81|-163.44|19.96|53.70|*????\r\n";
  
  // Calculate CRC
  uint8_t FIRST_CRC  = 0 ;
  uint8_t SECOND_CRC = 0 ;
  uint16_t  i = 0 ;

  while ( MSG [i]  !=  '*' ){ 
    // CRC_Range calculate from after '$' to begin '*'  ( not contain '$' and '*') 
    if (  MSG [i]  != '$' ){ 
       FIRST_CRC     ^=  ( uint8_t  ) MSG [i];
       SECOND_CRC ^=  ( uint8_t ) FIRST_CRC; 
    }
    i++;
  }

  //Format CRC to [HEX_Up] string and store to buffer
  char CRC16_OUT  [4+1] ; 
  sprintf (  CRC16_OUT   ,  "%02X%02X" , FIRST_CRC , SECOND_CRC );

  //Print out result            
  printf ( "\n Your CRC16 is %s \n", CRC16_OUT);
  //Result should be [ Your CRC16 is 5172  ]
