Magnetometer for Handheld devices, Resolution 120ugauss, Non-linearity 0.1%,

Product Description

KSMIT3 is a state-of-the-art Attitude Heading and Reference System that comes as a fully functional self-contained module. Its design is based on a limited number of hardware components, which makes it easy to integrate into any system.

This innovative system boasts a fully documented and industry-standard communication protocol, which allows for the customization of data messages in terms of frequency, output format, and data. The signal is processed entirely on the board, which only uses a small amount of resources on the host. This feature makes KSMIT3 ideal for use in simple MCU operating environments.

KSMIT3 features high accuracy under dynamic conditions with flipping and pitching accuracy of 1 degree RMS, as well as a deflection accuracy of 2 degrees RMS. Its output is highly stable, making it perfect for use in the control and stabilization of any object or navigation, such as drones.

Features

Technical Parameters

Frames of reference

The KSMIT3 uses a right-handed coordinate system and the default sensor frame is defined as shown in Figure 13. For a more exact location of the sensor frame origin, refer to the Hardware Integration manual. Some of the commonly used data outputs wITh their output reference coordinate system are listed in Figure 1.

User communication protocol

The baud rate is 115200bps, 230400bps, and 460800bps. Data bIT 8, stop bIT 1, no check bIT. High bytes come first and low bytes come last. Data update frequency f=100Hz. The default baud rate is 230400bps.

Parameter settings

The product defaults to the "continuous output" state when powered on, and to set parameters, the "stop output" command must be sent first. Attention:After using the following command, the user must power on and restart to automatically swITch to the state of continuous transmission.

1 Stop output

Stopping output is to swITch the default "continuous output" state on power to the "parameter setting" state.

6 Magnetic field calibration

In the operation of magnetic sensors, IT is inevITable to be affected by the interference of surrounding electromagnetic fields, which can lead to varying degrees of deviation and deformation of the XYZ axis magnetic field strength measured by the magnetic sensor. Magnetic field calibration is to compensate for soft and hard magnetic interference through algorIThm learning of the surrounding magnetic field environment. Therefore, we strongly recommend that magnetic field calibration should be implemented after each installation and after changes in the magnetic field environment.

When performing magnetic field calibration, the surrounding interfering substances should remain unchanged (i.e. rotate wITh the product) during the product rotation process and the relative posITion of the product. Calibration requires the operator to have no mobile phones, magnetic cards, keys, or metal or powered devices that can affect the electromagnetic field on their body.

Attention: Only wIThin the limITed interference range can the magnetic field calibration operation have a compensation effect. The range of the magnetic sensor is approximately between plus and minus 1 Gauss, which is approximately twice the geomagnetic field in the northern hemisphere. If the magnetic field interference value exceeds plus or minus 0.5 Gauss, the magnetometer may reach saturation state, which hinders the compensation effect. When calibration fails, IT indicates that the problem has occurred.

2D calibration

Note: When the product cannot rotate in 3D, 2D calibration can be used. IT is recommended that the actual tilt angle of the product be less than 5 degrees. 2D calibration can be completed through the interface or serial port by issuing commands.
