Introduction

The HWT906 is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular velocity, angle as well as magnetic filed. 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.
HWT906’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.
HWT906 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

Warning Statement

Putting more than 5 Volt 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 secondary developing project or integration: use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.

MCU Connection

The test board needs to be connected to the module to connect the computer.
Providing a Type-C port and a pin header port for easy connection to the computer for testing. Install the HWT906 in the test board slot.
The connection diagram of the test version and the module is as follows:

Step 1. Connect the sensor with a serial converter
PIN Connection:
VCC – 5V
TX – RX
RX – TX
GND – GND
(When connecting with computer, VCC-5V is recommended.) WiT HWT906 IP67
