Subject: IIO: angular measurement types.
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:13:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E846F08.5070906@cam.ac.uk> (raw)

Hi All

Just looking at add chan spec support for resolvers and
realised that our representations of angular measurements
have become somewhat confused.

Right now we have

IIO_GYRO -> angular velocity (units radians / sec)
IIO_ROT -> vertical rotation position (undocumented)
IIO_ANGL -> rotation angle (currently integrated version of IIO_GYRO, undocumented)

For resolvers we seem to need

Absolute rotation position (IIO_ANGL?)  set units to radians
Angular velocity (IIO_GYRO? - odd naming here) randians / sec

So, proposal is to rename IIO_GYRO - > IIO_ANGL_VEL

Anyone have an thoughts on this?

Jonathan
