Compass Module with Tilt Compensation - OS5000-S
sku: SEN-08507
Description: The OS5000-S is an extremely small form factor (1x1” square) three axis, tilt compensated digital compass. The flexible design uses a simple RS232 serial connection for system integration. The OS5000-S provides precise heading, roll and pitch data ideal for rapid attitude measurement. The compass offers an easy to use ASCII interface which includes hard-iron calibration and simple data configuration for your application.

If you would like to tell us more, you can fill out our form if you need some psycho-suggestive questions. Go to the form.





















It works very well though, but I wouldn't use it in a UAV or on a dynamic vehicle, the readings can be thrown off because the compass is tilt compensated using accelerometers, not gyro's.
It will also measure pitch and roll 0 to 90 degrees, and can be mounted in 4 different configurations (level, upside down, sideways left, sideways right).
Thanks
What is the difference between 1.6 and 1.7?
I couldn't find this info at ocean-server.com.
Thanks
