Fixed point Kalman filter library

libfixkalman is a Kalman filter computation library for microcontrollers. It is based on the libfixmatrix_ and libfixmath_ libraries, which use 16.16 bit fixed point values. The main focus is processors without an FPU, such as ARM Cortex-M0 or M3.

Matrix inversion in the correction step is implemented using Cholesky decomposition and an optimized inversion algorithm ported from EJML_.

See function reference_ for further details and example_gravity.c_ for example code.

conan.io

This library now has experimental support for the conan.io_ package manager and is aimed at CMake. Both libfixmath and libfixmatrix dependencies are available on conan.io and you should be able to verify the package building process by calling::

conan test_package --build

In general, to reference the library you'd provide a conanfile.txt with the following content::

[requires]
libfixkalman/20161008@sunside/stable

which corresponds to this package_, where 20161008 could be replaced with the latest version as found via conan search -v libfixkalman* -r=conan.io. You can then just::

conan install

or::

conan install --build

to obtain all required references.
