Calibrating Your Odometry Sensor with Arduino and Python
Today, we take a look at calibrating your SparkFun Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor (or "OTOS") with Arduino and Python Examples.
A few months ago, we released the SparkFun Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor (or "OTOS") for FIRST Tech Challenge teams. This little sensor board has been a huge hit and we are incredibly proud with its release and what it means for budding robotics and tech teams. A question that we've received from those interested in picking this board up is how it can be calibrated. To make it a little easier to find, we've taken a clip from our full hookup guide that will help you calibrate and get started with the OTOS.

In this tutorial, we will cover how to calibrate your Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor (or "OTOS") with Arduino and Python Examples.
In this tutorial, we will be going over how to calibrate your Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor (or "OTOS") with Arduino and Python Examples. While we recommend using the OTOS with our XRP robotics platform (specifically for FTC teams), following this guide, you will be able to use the Odometry Sensor with any robot you feel comfortable with!
