Using MPU 9250 IMU in vertical orientation

Join Date: Jan 2018 Hi everyone !
Posts: 8 iam trying to use MPU 9250 IMU in vertical position i.e in
90 degree position with respect to ground for my project.
In this position the y-axis of accelerometer and gyroscope
is perpendicular to the ground. Currently iam getting
incorrect reading from the IMU. it is working fine when i
keep it flat on the ground. iam using Kris winer's code
available on github. i tried the following to change the
default axes orientation but it did not work.

Code:
MahonyQuaternionUpdate(ax, -az, ay, gx*PI/180.0f,

kris has used the following order of parameters to pass to

filter.

Code:
MahonyQuaternionUpdate(ax, ay, az, gx*PI/180.0f,

Here is the full code

what means incorrect data?

can you provide some printouts, preferable raw values

1) when you turn the IMU (around vertical axis) while flat
on table
2) when you turn the IMU (around the y axis) while y-axis
is pointing up.

The sensors should be 3d sensors and therefore work in all

orientations.
If the raw data behave good, then the IMU software has
some issues.
