Overview
The WitMotion HWT905 Accelerometer + Inclinometer is a robust AHRS module that fuses a temperature-compensated SCA3300 MEMS accelerometer, gyroscope, and a PNI RM3100 geomagnetic sensor. With a Kalman-based fusion algorithm, 32-bit MCU (up to 168 MHz), and IP67 aluminum casing, it provides drift-free roll & pitch and true north-referenced yaw with superior yaw accuracy of 1° (after calibration). Outputs include 3-axis acceleration, angular velocity, magnetic field, Euler angle, quaternion, device time, and more. The sensor supports TTL/RS232/RS485/CAN and an adjustable 0.2–200 Hz data rate, with companion Windows software and an Android app for configuration, recording, and TXT export.

How It Achieves Stability
-
Temperature Compensation (SCA3300) → accurate attitude in unstable temperatures.
-
Magnetometer Compensation (RM3100) → high-resolution magnetic data with disturbance recovery.
-
Core Fusion (Kalman + motion dynamics) → precise, low-noise attitude estimation.
Typical Applications
Industrial and mobile robotics, AGV/AMR navigation, platform leveling, antenna/solar tracking, vehicle attitude logging, marine/USV stabilization, surveying instruments, and motion analysis where sealed, wide-voltage AHRS is required.
Notes on Accuracy
Stated accuracies (e.g., yaw 1°) are achieved after calibration and with magnetic compensation in non-disturbed environments. Installation alignment and soft-/hard-iron calibration significantly affect yaw results.
