CH Robotics releases v2.0 firmware for the CHR-6d, adding an onboard EKF for pitch and roll angle estimation

Provo, UT.- Provo, UT.- As of February 26, 2010, all CHR-6d IMUs shipped by CH Robotics will include new v2.0 firmware, which includes an onboard Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for automatic pitch and roll angle estimation. The updated firmware makes the CHR-6d a remarkably low-cost, easy to use orientation sensor. Getting yaw and pitch angles is as easy as turning on the unit and reading data off the UART! Read More

CH Robotics announces release of small, low-cost 6-DOF IMU using newest MEMS technology

CH Robotics introduced today a small, low-cost digital 6-DOF IMU. Targeted toward cost-sensitive markets, the CHR-6d IMU is designed to simplify development and make inertial sensing available where it might have been otherwise cost-prohibitive. The CHR-6d IMU combines 3 accelerometer axes and 3 rate gyro axes in a small, .8" x .7" inch footprint. Read More
