WitMotion WT1-IMU Dual-Axis Angle Sensor (Accelerometer + Inclinometer), 3.3–5V TTL, 0.5° Accuracy, 20 Hz Output

Overview

WitMotion WT1-IMU is a super cost-effective dual-axis angle sensor that fuses accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer data with a Kalman-filter-based algorithm to output X/Y angle in real time. The module runs from 3.3–5 V, communicates over TTL serial, and is built on a compact gold-plated stamp-hole PCB for easy SMT integration. Typical angle accuracy is ±0.5° (X & Y) with a 20 Hz default return rate. Official PC software provides dashboards, calibration, logging, and export; SDK/examples support MATLAB, Python, Raspberry Pi, STM32, ROS, Arduino, and C/C#.
