Digital Compass From OceanServer Integrates With GPS to Provide Heading
A line of compact and highly accurate 3-axis positioning sensors for a variety of OEM applications including antennas, night vision systems, robotics, satellites, sonar, solar panels, and weather instrumentation.
FALL RIVER, MA--(Marketwire - Jun 28, 2011) - OceanServer Technology, Inc. has introduced a line of compact and highly accurate 3-axis positioning sensors for a variety of OEM applications including antennas, night vision systems, robotics, satellites, sonar, solar panels, and weather instrumentation.
OceanServer Electronic Compasses are offered in a 0.6" sq. embedded and a 1" sq. full-board version that auto-detects either USB or RS232 connections and a TTL interface. Suitable for integration with GPS to provide heading information, they provide 0.5 degrees nominal accuracy, 0.1 resolution, ±180 degree roll, ±90 degree tilt, and electronically gimbaled tilt compensation.
Incorporating 3-Axis magnetic sensors with 3-Axis accelerometers, standard features of OceanServer Electronic Compasses include hard- and soft-iron calibration, a 50 MIPS processor that supports IEEE floating point math, a 24 bit A/D converter, programmable baud rates from 4,800 to 115,000 baud, and Windows® compatible software for evaluation and testing.
OceanServer Electronic Compasses are priced from $99.00 to $299.00 ea., depending upon configuration and quantity; including reference software.
