LPMS-B: 9-Axis IMU / AHRS / Motion Sensor with Bluetooth (wireless) Connectivity

NOTE: This is a legacy device. For new applications, please refer to LPMS-B2.

Description

The LP-Research Motion Sensor Bluetooth version (LPMS-B) is a miniature wireless inertial measurement unit (IMU) / attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). The unit is very versatile, performing accurate, high speed orientation and displacement measurements. By the use of three different MEMS sensors (3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer) drift-free, high-speed orientation data around all three axes is achieved.

The optional temperature and barometric pressure sensors allow accurate altitude measurements. The LPMS-B communicates with a host system via a Bluetooth Classic 2.1 connection. Multiple LPMS-B units can be used simultaneously with one host system (7 units maximum on Windows/Android).

The sensor is capable of a data transmission rate of up to 400Hz.
