The Coral Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) module gives a
complete attitude reference, including absolute heading. It uses MEMS
tactical grade sensors and advanced filter techniques to provide
accurate readings over a standard serial interface. The Coral
AHRS™ was
designed and built for performance and ease of use.
All I/O and power
requirements are met by a single, readily
available DB-9 connector. An efficient switching power regulator
requires 9-28VDC, using only 870mW (at 12V), making the Coral AHRS
ideal for
robotics or other low power systems.
The Coral AHRS™
module's configuration data regarding
output
modes, baud rates, hard iron calibration, etc. is all accessible though
the serial interface.When the configuration data is stored in
non-volatile memory, device settings are preserved so that it behaves
as configured every time it's powered on. The Coral AHRS™
includes an
"IMU mode," for advanced users who need to implement their own custom
filter code, such as for a GPS/INS. In that mode, the output from each
sensor (gyros, accelerometers, and magnetometers) is scaled and
corrected for misalignment and other errors, and then sent without any
additional filtering. Unprocessed raw sensor values are also available.
The output rate of the Coral AHRS module is not
dependent on the output mode used; users can access any output mode at
any supported output frequency.
The Coral AHRS™
is available as both a module and in a
Starter
Kit, to aid in evaluation and development.
