Using the LiDAR with the VMX:

     For Java and C++, the required version numbers are:

• • GradleRIO: 2020.3.2.30
  • Studica.json: 1.1.28

     To update GradleRIO:

• • Select the VMX-PI extension in VS Code
  • Choose update WPILib Version
  • The new version will now be downloaded and cached to the project

     To update Studica.json

• • Select the WPILib extension in VS Code
  • Search for Mange Vendor Libraries
  • Select: Check for updates (Online)
  • There should be a checkbox for V 1.1.28 of the Studica.json
  • The new libraries should download and cache to the project

• Intelligent Motion Processor
• RoboRIO Expansion I/O
• Check out all the features

Many capabilities:

• Field-oriented drive, auto-balancing, collision detection, motion detection, auto-rotate-to-angle, linear velocity vectors and more…
• 10 Digital I/Os, 4 Analog Inputs, 2 Analog Outputs, and TTL UART / I2C / SPI ports.
• Easily installed via RoboRIO’s MXP Expansion connector or USB port.
• C++, Java and LabView libraries and sample application code simplify integration.
• Existing navX-MXP users can upgrade easily.
• Free software libraries & example code are available for easy integration and use.

What's New and Improved in navX2-MXP

• Significantly improved yaw accuracy and stability, even during Extreme inertial events. navX2-MXP features very high-accuracy orientation (yaw/pitch/roll), with minimal yaw drift of ~0.5 degree per minute when moving, and < 0.2 degrees/hour when still. navX2-MXP is incredibly stable, and averages a yaw drift of only 2 degrees per DAY when still. navX2-MXP's new Industrial-class ISM330DHCX IMU sensor handles high rotation (4000 degree/second) and impact (16G, operates in higher temperature environments and can survive extreme shock events (20,000G).
• Rapid (5-second) auto-calibrating startup.
• navX2-MXP features an upgraded 180Mhz 32-bit floating-point ARM processor, the new sensors, and new state-of-the-art software algorithms which take navX technology to the next level, including a blazing-fast 416-Khz Kalman Filter, enhanced sensor calibration and algorithms which fuse gyro, accelerometer and magnetometer data into a “9-axis heading”.
• As a result of these upgrades, the accuracy of Velocity Vector Measurements and Displacement Estimates is also improved.
