Epson Sensing System Sensors

Overview

• These ROS drivers are intended for evaluation of the Epson IMUs on a ROS1 or ROS2 system.
• The different Epson 6DOF IMU models have various sensing ranges that can be evaluated in a ROS based system.
• Epson IMU are performance-oriented products with a combination of low power consumption and small size.
• G3xx models are intended for board-level integration using a SPI or UART interface
• G552PR models are intended for remote mounting in harsh environments exposed to moisture or dust using a cabled RS422 UART interface

• For more detailed product info & specifications please refer to Epson Sensing System

• These ROS drivers are available for download from GitHub

Supported Devices

• The ROS drivers are maintained to support the following Epson products:
  • G570PR
  • G370PDF / G370PDS / G370PDG / G370PDT
  • G330PDG / G366PDG
  • G365PDC / G365PDF
  • G364PDC
  • G354PDH

Requirements

ROS Platform

• These drivers have been tested using the following host platforms:
  • Intel PCs running Ubuntu 20.x, or 22.x
  • Raspberry Pi 2, 3+, 4 running Ubuntu Mate 20.x, 22.x

Serial Interfaces

• These drivers supports UART or SPI serial interface connection to the Epson device
• For G552PRx select the UART interface
  • The host system must have a RS422 I/O compatible UART interface (UART protocol over RS422) for connecting to the G552PRx IMU
