Configuration

To calibrate the magnetometer, follow the steps:

1. Connect MEX to a computer

To establish that connection, use the Veronte Link application acording to its user manual.

2. Create a tunnel communication

1. Open MEX PDI Builder and select the connected MEX on the marked button.

   

2. Click on Open MEX ⇒ menu ⇒ I/O Setup panel, then connect a custom message producer with a tunnel consumer. For more information on custom messages and tunnelling, please refer to the I/O Setup section of the MEX PDI Builder user manual.

   

3. Click on the button of the producer to configure it and then on to add a message. It must be configured with the following parameters:

   • Endianness: Mixed endian
   • Period: 0.25 s
   • Delay: 0 s

   

4. Then, click on to add the necessary fields to this message. The structure and variables of the message must be the following:

   • Internal LIS3MDL Magnetometer Raw X in SI, Internal LIS3MDL Magnetometer Raw Y in SI and Internal LIS3MDL Magnetometer Raw Z in SI:

     • Variable: Internal LIS3MDL Magnetometer Raw X in SI / Internal LIS3MDL Magnetometer Raw Y in SI / Internal LIS3MDL Magnetometer Raw Z in SI
     • Compression: Uncompress
     • Encode/Decode: 1

   • Sensor-Internal Magnetometer (LIS3MDL):

     • Variable: Sensor-Internal Magnetometer (LIS3MDL)
     • Compression: Uncompress

   • CRC (crc16veronte):

     • Type: Polynomial
     • Endianness: Little endian
     • Crc-Preset: crc16veronte
     • BackFrom: 12
     • BackTo: 0
     • Binary mode

   

5. The tunnel consumer requires the following configuration:

   • Veronte ID: App 2
   • Parser: No protocol
   • Destination tunnel: Tunnel producer 1
   • Time between messages: 0.1 s
   • Bytes to send: 15 bytes

   

6. Finally click on to save the configuration in MEX.
