/sensors

Description: Gets the raw sensor values from the drone’s Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).

AccX/Y/Z - The accelerometer’s X, Y, and Z measurements, in milli-Gs (a G is 9.8 meters per second squared, or the acceleration of Earth’s gravity). The range is typically 4G’s, but changes from drone to drone.

GyroX/Y/Z - The gyroscope’s X, Y, and Z measurements, in milliradians per second. The range is typically 6mrad, but changes depending on the drone’s implementation.

MagX/Y/Z - The magnometer (compass) measurements, in milliguass. The range is typically 8milligauss, but changes depending on the drone’s implementation.

Baro - The measurement of the drone’s barometric pressure unit, in millibars. It should be noted that the barometer is notoriously bad for measuring altitude, and direct measurement should be avoided.

Temp - The IMU’s operating temperature in degrees celsius, if available.
