Specification
Technical Specifications:
BWT901CL’s scientific name is the AHRS IMU sensor. A sensor measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field. Its strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate the three-axis angle accurately. The robust housing and the small outline makes it perfectly suitable for industrial retrofit application such as motion capturing, engineering machine monitoring, etc.
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.
Current: <40mA
Working Temperature: -40℃ ~ +85℃
Battery life: about 4 hours
Data output frequency：0.2-200Hz
Interface: Type-C, Bluetooth 2.0
Baud Rate: 115200 (default, can not be changed)
Voltage: 3.3-5V, built-in rechargeable battery (260mAh capacity, 3.7V)
Output Content: 3-axis Acceleration+Angle+Angular Velocity+Magnetic Field+Quaternion
Range: Acceleration (±16g), Gyroscope (±2000°/s), Magnet Field (±4900µT), Angle (X, Z-axis: ±180°, Y ±90°)

So it is a bit of a pain in the butt... stuff to complain about:
1.
Make the cable so that you can transmit via USB... it is 2 whole wires.
I would gladly pay $2 extra dollars for the extra wires.
2. Make sure that your solder connections between the bluetooth board and the actual gyro board are good... mine needed a bump
3.
For pity sake, get someone that actually speaks English to write your
manual and include the documentation for the bluetooth and where the led
light are located...
That being said...
1. Once I took it apart
and got the blue light to come on for the bluetooth, Windows 10 found it
flawlessly. Found it even after I removed power and replugged it back
in.
2. Adding a $1 AA battery pack to the gyro makes it cable free
which is most excellent. The AA pack that holds 3 battery powers the
gyro beautifully.
3. The software is excellent except for the fact
that once you start the record, there isn't a STOP button anywhere to be
found... it ran all night and saved the data... oh my!
To all
the people that gave this a 1 star due to the fact that you cannot ship
via air with a battery installed, get a battery pack and solder it into
place. I managed... took all of 3 seconds.
So the part numbers that you need for research:
BWT901CL - which is what you purchased which includes:
HC-06 - this is the part number for the bluetooth module. If you ask google for the data sheet, it will find it.
JY901 - this is the actual gyro board
The
switch on the side does nothing... when the unit is plugged into USB
power there should be a red light and a blue light above the switch. If
the blue never lights off, the solder on pins 12 and 13 need a touch
up... you need a very small (tiny) solder tip on your iron to fix it.
The
software is on the wit-motion.com web site. You will need chrome and
the google translate to read it and find the downloads... you need the
software for the JY901... and not for the actual part number.
I
hope that this helps everyone who purchases one of these. Get over the
battery problem guys... this girl that has used gyros for aerospace that
cost thousands of dollar and are not bluetooth, this one is excellent
for the application that we are using it for, gets rid of a ton of
cabling and comes with its own data collection software with software
source samples.
Have a wonderful day!

Mine has a battery built in, the usb cable that comes with it can be used to charge the battery. I removed one star because the PC application is not professional, needs some work. Overall, it does work just fine and has a battery built in just needs charging. The Chinese text on the side of the box is unreadable by me but is the on/off switch.
Cliente de Amazon
It worked with the test software of Witmotion on first try, great attention from Kyle from support team, unfortunatly I am not experienced enough to link the device to a head tracker software, which was my first purpose, but nothing to do with the quality nor performance of the device, only my lack of knowledge. I would recommend WitMotion products , great price and awesome customers' support.
David M.
The product works wonderful and appears to be great for the intended purpose, but i am trying to repurpose it to be used as a vibration meter. It appears to have all the functions and capability i need. Best of all, the company is quick to respond to any help requests and very supportive.
Jerry
Quite a remarkable device. I used it to measure the vibrational motions of a camera mount in church. Setup & software was difficult, but with help from Kyle in China, I got it working.
Amazon Customer
Value for the price is difficult to beat. They have software to interface with that's useful enough. The email support is responsive enough (replies in 1 day). Things to improve would be the software side but they provide code for you to customize your own, if you're into that.

Works best with PC. Getting it to work with a Raspberry Pi is challenging.
