Drone writes: This is a single part MEMS 10-DOF IMU part that will ship around 15 July 2011. OK, here’s the catch: Unless I’m missing something obvious, it looks like this device costs $605 USD each in quantity 100-499 (no, I did not forget a decimal point). There’s an EV board, but Gawd only knows what that’s going to cost.
ADIS16407: Ten Degrees of Freedom Inertial Sensor
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) released for general availability today the ADIS16407 iSensor IMU (inertial measurement unit) which integrates a tri-axis gyroscope, tri-axis accelerometer, tri-axis magnetometer and a pressure sensor into a single package.
Via the contact form.
IMUs cost a lot, and most of that money (more than 2/3) goes to Kalman filters and other algorithms running on it for getting good data. You can get the parts seperately, and try to make your own filter but that requires time and know-how.
What? The complexity of the filters is insignificant when compared to the complexity of designing and manufacturing something like this.
I’m going to order free samples of this!…
Oh wait…
May I know About its pressure sensor
how can a chip kept in closed environment sense the pressure of outside??
Is there only transducer on the chip or sensor as well?
Is there any hole or tube which is coming to pass the sensed pressure to the chop??
