I/O Expansion - Kauai Labs navX-MXP User Manual

Installation
OmniMount
To configure OmniMount, follow these simple steps:
Install the navX-MXP onto your robot. ENSURE that one of the navX-MXP axes (as
shown on the navX-MXP circuit board) is perpendicular to the earth's surface. This axis
will become the yaw (Z) axis. Note that this axis can either be pointing away from the
earth's surface, or towards the earth's surface.
Press the 'CAL' button on the navX-MXP Circuit board AND HOLD THE BUTTON
DOWN FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS.
Release the 'CAL' button, and verify that the orange 'CAL' light flashes for 1 second
and then turns off.
Press the 'RESET' button on the navX-MXP circuit board, causing it to restart.
The navX-MXP circuit board will now begin OmniMount auto-calibration. During this auto-
calibration period, the orange 'CAL' LED will flash repeatedly. This process takes
approximately 15 seconds, and requires two things:
1. During auto-calibration, one of the navX-MXP axes MUST be perpendicular
to the earth's surface.
2. During auto-calibration, navX-MXP must be held still.
If either of the above conditions is not true, the 'CAL' LED will be flashing
quickly, indicating an error. To resolve this error, you must ensure that conditions
1 and 2 are met, at which point the 'CAL' LED will begin flashing slowly,
indicating calibration is underway.
Once navX-MXP auto-calibration is complete, the Board Frame to Body
Frame Transform will be stored persistently into navX-MXP flash memory and used until
auto-calibration is run once again.
navX-MXP breaks out all usable signal pins on the National Instruments RoboRIO™ / MyRIO
MXP Connector.
