GPS-Integrated IMU
Overview
 Inertial, barometric, and GPS sensors are fused with a powerful microprocessor to form the Circinus Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Circinus can be used for calculating orientation and positioning output for multiple applications. Circinus operates with complete 360-degree coverage on three axes, and outputs real-time calculation of its orientation in static operational settings. The configurable digital serial output of Circinus provides orientation in quaternion or Euler formats at update rates of 20 Hz or 100 Hz.
Circinus' embedded microprocessor performs all orientation calculations and does not place additional processing loads on a host system. Additionally, the embedded processor resolves sensor fusion and development issues that typically challenge software/hardware teams, thus improving product development time and lowering costs.
