Overview
The WitMotion HWT31 is a compact accelerometer-based inclinometer module built around the SCA3300 high-stability, temperature-compensated acceleration chip. An onboard 8-bit MCU runs a Kalman filter and angle solver to output smooth roll/pitch (X/Y) angles together with X/Y/Z acceleration. The module communicates over UART (TTL level) and works with WitMotion PC software (Windows XP/7/8/10) and an Android app (via OTG + USB-TTL). It also provides dedicated alarm pins for X± and Y± thresholds.
