CHR-6dm AHRS
Description
The CHR-6dm is an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) combining rate gyros, accelerometers, magnetic sensors,
and a 32-bit ARM Cortex processor all on one small board. An onboard Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) handles the tricky data fusion
problem, reporting yaw, pitch, and roll angles at up to 300 Hz over a simple TTL (3.3V) UART interface. The CHR-6dm provides
built-in routines for gyro bias calibration, and PC software is available for automatic soft and hard iron magnetometer calibration.
Features
- Onboard EKF produces yaw, pitch, and roll angle estimates
- Automatic gyro bias calibration
- Adjustable output rates (20 Hz - 300 Hz)
- Onboard 3.3V regulator simplifies integration
- +3.3V output sources up to 400mA for powering other peripherals (ie. GPS)
- Open-source firmware with free development tools
- Open-source PC software for data visualization, calibration, and AHRS configuration
- Two UARTs and one SPI bus routed out for custom applications
Specifications
- Better than 0.5 degree angle accuracy1
- 16-bit angle outputs provide 0.0096 degree resolution
- Euler angle outputs for yaw, pitch, and roll
- Input voltage: +3.3V to +12 V
- +5V tolerant IO pins for integration with 5V systems
- +/- 400 °/s maximum measurable rotation rates
- +/- 3g maximum measurable acceleration
