Overview
WTGAHRS3 is a professional inertial-navigation attitude sensor that fuses a 6-axis IMU with high-precision satellite positioning. It integrates an accelerometer, gyroscope, and attitude solver with Kalman filtering for stable, high-precision angle output, and (on GPS versions) reports latitude/longitude and ground speed. Housing is aluminum with IP67 dust/water protection, an external antenna interface, and a shielded cable for robust signal integrity. PC software and sample code (Windows C/C#, STM32, 51, MATLAB) are provided for rapid integration.
