Smart Algorithms for data interpretation

Warning Statement

It is important to follow these warnings to prevent damage to the sensor:

Do not apply more than 5 Volts across the sensor wiring of the main power supply as it can cause permanent damage.
Do not directly connect VCC (power supply) with GND (ground) to avoid circuit board burning.
For proper instrument grounding, use WITMOTION with its original factory-made cable or accessories.
If you are working on a secondary developing project or integration, use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.

Introduction

The WT901C is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular velocity, and 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 with smart algorithms.
WT901C’s scientific name is AHRS IMU sensor A sensor measures 3 axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration, and magnetic field. Its strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately.
WT901C is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required. It offers several advantages over competing sensors:

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 the WITMOTION service team
Developed tutorial: providing manual, datasheet, Demo video, free software for Windows computer, and sample code for MCU integration including Python, STM32, Arduino, Matlab, Raspberry Pi, C++， communication protocol for project development
WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a recommended attitude measurement solution.

Warning Statement

Putting more than 5 Volts across the sensor wiring of the main power supply can lead to permanent damage to the sensor.
VCC cannot connect with GND directly, otherwise it will lead to the burning of the circuit board.
For proper instrument grounding: use WITMOTION with its original factory-made cable or accessories
For separate developing projects or integration: use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.
