IMU where Accel & Gyro have different sample rate

Oct 01, 2012 0 Replies

Hello,



I have an IMU where the Accelerometer has an update rate of 400Hz, and the Gyro of 380Hz.



I would like to use an orientation filter such as the ones by Madgwick or Mahony, but they expect to get the data from the 2 sensors simultaneously.



What could I do to fix the problem, without introducing complex sample rate converters?



Would duplicate 1 gyro output in every 20 (MCD between 400 and 380) samples work well, or introduce errors that would even accumulate in time? Would add



1 gyro output as "null" 1 in every 20 samples work, or generate jitter?

With best regards, Mike
