Introduction
The SINDT is a multi-sensor device designed to detect acceleration, angular velocity, and angle. Its robust housing and compact size make it ideal for industrial retrofit applications, such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. By interpreting sensor data through smart algorithms, the device allows users to address various use cases.
Scientifically known as an AHRS IMU sensor, the SINDT measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, and acceleration. Its key strength lies in its algorithm, which accurately calculates dual-axis angles.
Advantages of SINDT sensors over competing products include:
- Heated for best data availability: Features WITMOTION's patented zero-bias automatic detection calibration algorithm, which surpasses traditional accelerometer sensors.
- High precision: Measures Roll, Pitch, Yaw (X, Y, Z) for Acceleration, Angular Velocity, and Angle.
- Low cost of ownership: Offers remote diagnostics and lifetime technical support from the WITMOTION service team.
- Comprehensive development resources: Includes tutorials, datasheets, demo videos, free software for Windows, an Android app, and sample code for MCU integration (e.g., 51 serial, STM32, Arduino, Matlab, Raspberry Pi), along with communication protocols for project development.
- Industry recognition: WITMOTION sensors are highly regarded by thousands of engineers as a recommended solution for attitude measurement.
Warning Statement
Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent damage to the sensor:
- Applying more than 5 Volts across the sensor wiring from the main power supply can cause permanent damage.
- Never connect VCC directly to GND, as this will burn the circuit board.
- For proper instrument grounding, use WITMOTION's original factory-made cables or accessories.
- Do not access the I2C interface.
- For secondary development projects or integration, use WITMOTION's compiled sample code.
