Introduction

The WTGAHRS2 is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular velocity, angle, magnetic filed as well as GPS. The robust housing and 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.

WTGAHRS2 ’s scientific name is GPS IMU sensor. A sensor measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field and GPS data. Its strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately.
WTGAHRS2 is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required. It 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+GPS data
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 Python, STM32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, C++, communication protocol for project development
WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a recommended attitude measurement solution
