Are there any tools available to help understand how a navX-sensor works?
Learn how the sensor behaves by using the navXUI The navXUI provides insight into the key navX-sensor features, and can help debug issues you may ...
How can the navX-MXP be used in a non-horizontal position?
Use OmniMount if the navX-sensor is not mounted horizontally By default, a navX-sensor's motion processing requires the unit be mounted ...
What is the best mounting position for a navX-sensor?
If possible, mount the navX-sensor circuit board near the center of rotation Since a navX-sensor measures rotation, errors in the measured angles ...
What methods should be used for electrical robustness?
Avoid shorts on MXP Expansion I/O pins If a short occurs between any of the MXP Expansion I/O pins, the POWER led on the RoboRIO will turn red, and ...
What is the best way to handle sensor drift?
Provide a “Zero Yaw” feature (for Field-Oriented Drive) The navX-sensor gyro “yaw” angle will drift over time; the amount of drift depends ...

What is the best way to make the nav-Micro robust in brownout scenarios occurring on a RoboRIO?
Plan for RoboRIO Brownouts [FRC-specific] The RoboRIO contains circuitry to remove power from the RoboRIO MXP and Onboard I2C connectors when it ...
Are there any tools available to help understand how a navX2-Micro or navX-Micro sensor works?
Learn how the sensor behaves by using the navXUI The navXUI provides insight into the key navX-sensor features, and can help debug issues you may ...
How can the navX2-Micro / navX-Micro be used in a non-horizontal position?
Use OmniMount if the navX-sensor is not mounted horizontally By default, the navX-sensor’s motion processing requires the unit be mounted ...
How does one minimize rotation angle errors with the navX2-Micro / navX-Micro?
If possible, mount the navX-sensor near the center of rotation Since a navX-sensor measures rotation, errors in the measured angles can occur if a ...
What is the best way to handle sensor drift with navX2-Micro / navX-Micro?
Provide a “Zero Yaw” feature (for Field-Oriented Drive) The navX-sensor gyro “yaw” angle will drift over time; the amount of drift depends ...
