Product Description
Highlights
WT61P’s scientific name is the AHRS IMU sensor. A sensor measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration. WitMotion WT61P integrates a high-precision gyroscope, accelerometer, and adopts a high-performance microprocessor, advanced dynamics fusion algorithm, and Kalman dynamic filtering algorithm to quickly analyze the module's current real-time motion posture.
By WitMotion advanced digital filtering technology, the sensor can effectively reduce measurement noise and improve measurement accuracy
With its in-built posture solver and the dynamic Kalman filter algorithm, the sensor can accurately output the current posture of the product in a dynamic environment. The measurement accuracy of the X and Y axis can reach 0.05°, and the stability is extremely high.
Persued for best data accuracy and stability: WTMOTION patented zero-bias automatic detection calibration algorithm and R&D dynamic fusion algorithm outperforms traditional accelerometer sensor
Technical Specifications:
