Auto Aim with IMU Only
Fallback Mode
IMU-only aiming is your most predictable backup mode when vision confidence drops. Build and tune this mode first.
Step 1
Read Heading and Pose
  • Heading source: GyroscopeBHIMU.
  • Position source: localizer pose estimate.
  • Use these to compute basket-relative angle.
  • Step 2
    Apply Direction Logic
    Core idea from ArtifactControl:
    double calculatedAngle = Math.abs(Math.toDegrees(
        Math.atan2(positive_x_position, positive_y_position)
    ));
    
    if (isRedAlliance) targetAngle = calculatedAngle;
    else               targetAngle = 360 - calculatedAngle;
    
    if (targetAngle - headingAngle > 0) {
        basketAngle = targetAngle - headingAngle;
        rotateToLeft = basketAngle < 180;
    } else {
        basketAngle = 360 - Math.abs(headingAngle - targetAngle);
        rotateToLeft = basketAngle < 180;
    }
    if (basketAngle >= 180) basketAngle = 360 - basketAngle;
    Step 3
    Convert Angle to Turret + Flywheel Commands
  • Use turret position model + clamp bounds.
  • Use distance-based flywheel model + clamp bounds.
  • Apply deadzones before writing servos.
  • Step 4
    Add Launch Gating
  • Require legal shooting zone.
  • Require stable motion state before auto release.
  • Allow emergency cancel anytime by driver.
  • Step 5
    Tune for Repeatability
  • Test at short, mid, and long basket distances.
  • Measure shot grouping and adjust model coefficients carefully.
  • Re-check after drivetrain or turret maintenance.
  • Next
    Compare with Webcam Only, then move to IMU + Webcam Fusion.
