Solid state digital compass is a true three-axis module, with extensive tilt compensation, that can be mounted and used in any orientation
Inertial Aerosystems announce a new, solid state, digital compass with extensive options for the system integrator and efficient communications at high update rates.
The TruePoint electronic compass is a true three-axis module, with extensive tilt compensation, that can be mounted and used in any orientation.
Non volatile initialisation defaults allow the user to preset the personality of the compass with respect to orientation plane, magnetic declination, installation alignment and data rate.
Soft and hard iron effects can be tolerated using the on-board compensation algorithm.
Accuracies of 1deg RMS for azimuth, pitch and roll are achievable.
Applications include camera control, mobile communications, motion tracking, tool steering, land and maritime navigation and robotics vehicles.
