Introduction
The WT901SD is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular
velocity, angle as well as magnetic filed. The small outline makes it perfectly
suitable for industrial retrofit applications such as condition monitoring and
predictive maintenance. Configuring the device enables the customer to
address a broad variety of use cases by interpreting the sensor data by smart
algorithms.
WT901SD’s scientific name is AHRS IMU sensor. A sensor measures 3-axis
angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field. Its strength lies in the
algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately.
WT901SD is an CE standard accelerometer. It is employed where the highest
measurement accuracy is required. WT901SD offers several advantages over
competing sensor:
• Heated for best data availability: new WITMOTION patented zero-bias
automatic detection calibration algorithm outperforms traditional
accelerometer sensor
• High precision Roll Pitch Yaw (X Y Z axis) Acceleration + Angular Velocity +
Angle + Magnetic Field output
• Low cost of ownership: remote diagnostics and lifetime technical support by
WITMOTION service team
• Developed tutorial: providing manual, datasheet, Demo video, free software
for Windows computer, APP for Android smartphones , and sample code for
MCU integration including 51 serial, STM32, Arduino, Matlab, Raspberry Pi,
communication protocol for project development
• WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a
recommended attitude measurement solution
