ER-MIMU-103 Stable Control MEMS IMU
Introduction
ER-MIMU-103 is a complete inertial measurement unit with a built-in 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis magnetometer, and a pressure sensor. Each inertial sensor combines industry-leading MEMS technology with signal conditioning to deliver optimized dynamic performance. Each sensor has its own dynamic compensation formula that provides accurate sensor measurements.
ER-MIMU-103 provides a simple and efficient way to integrate accurate multi-axis inertial sensing into industrial systems compared to complex and expensive discrete design solutions. All required motion testing and calibration are part of the factory production process, significantly reducing system integration time. The SPI and register structures provide a simple interface for data collection and configuration control. It is available in a module package measuring approximately 47 mm x 44 mm x 14 mm with a standard connector interface.

Product composition and working principle
The products are mainly composed of three-axis MEMS accelerometer, gyroscope, three-axis magnetic sensor and barometric pressure sensor. Its working principle is as follows: the ARM microcontroller is used to collect gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer and barometer data, of which three high-precision gyroscopes are collected with one digital interface SPI, and three accelerometers are collected with another one digital interface SPI. All sensors are acquired and calibrated and compensated in the software.

1 )Installation error description
Internal orthogonal compensation has been carried out for the whole product. If the platform used by the product cannot guarantee the accuracy of the benchmark after installation, please compensate the installation error accordingly.
2 )Installation and protection
When the product is installed, it should be tightly installed parallel to the base level of the carrier installation (the installation error with the base level should be less than 0.05°).Because the product is a precision test instrument, although there is a shell protection, in order to protect the product damage, users should handle gently. The use and movement of the product should avoid falling, and be sure not to let the product and other components in the use of serious impact, to ensure the accuracy of the product datum requirements
