iMAR's low cost micro size IMU: iµIMU with integrated aiding sensors and open user interface

With its iµIMU iMAR presents a low cost micro IMU for multi purpose applications, which is equipped with 3 MEMS gyroscopes, 3 MEMS accelerometers, magnetometer, barometer (altitude), odometer interface and integrated GPS engine. iµIMU supports a plug&play integration into the user application via USB, RS232, RS422 or CAN bus. Signals for synchronization like SYNC_IN and SYNC_OUT are available.

An implementation for the CANaero-light / ARINC-825 is available within the SDK. µIMU

iMAR's iµIMU comes with an robust power supply input stage, supply voltage is 7...34 V DC at a power consumption of less than 2 W. The weight is only 50 grams.

The iµIMU is available in 3 different configurations:

  • iµIMU hardware, without calibration and without application software; the system is used by those users who want to implement their own software and calibration on the integrated ARM7 core.
  • iµIMU hardware with included calibration, but without application software
  • iµVRU: fully calibrated system with included AHRS application Software (15+ state IMS/GNSS Kalman filter based data fusion)
    As an option iMAR's proprietary NoA² algorithm  is available. The NoA² algorithm provides reliable attitude information also on larger aircrafts and railway vehicles if no aiding (no GPS, no baro speed, no magnetomreter) is available even over longer time.
