3-Space™ USBC-H-B
The 3-Space™ USBC-H-B provides the USBC’s 10-DOF AHRS/VRU/IMU functionality on a 4-gram board for OEM enclosures and electronic assemblies. A triaxial gyroscope, dual auto-selecting accelerometers, magnetometer, and barometric pressure sensor provide the underlying measurements.
QGRAD3 or Extended Kalman filtering delivers update rates up to 2,000 Hz, with acceleration sensing up to ±320g. An onboard World Magnetic Model provides true, magnetic, or grid north heading. SPI and I2C interfaces complement USB-C, UART, and RS232 for connection to embedded host electronics.
