Description
The LPMS-IG1-CAN is a a miniature inertial measurement unit (IMU) and attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) that has a CAN Bus and USB Interface. The unit performs accurate, high speed orientation and displacement measurements with three different MEMS sensors. The LPMS-IG1 is equipment with a powerful central processing unit that will fuse raw data from the dual gyroscopes, accelerometer and magnetometer to calculate results in real-time with low drift and high accuracy. All sensor parameters and data transmission options can be controlled by our IG1-Control software. For direct interfacing to Windows / Linux PC or embedded system we provide extensive library support. CAN Bus protocol offers LP-CAN and CANOpen Protocols.
