Requirements/Preferences
Requirements | Preferences |
|---|---|
<$100 for a single module / <$10 for a componet | Chassis mount over surface mount because surface mount would require its own custom PCB |
Accelerometer and Gyroscope | Magnetometer |
Compatible with Rasberry Pi | USB (with Pi)/ I2C/ SPI |
For Pi module - Input voltage of 5V Other - Input voltage of 12V or 3V3 (notation for 3.3V) | |
Reusable | |
Key Words
IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)
This is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the orientation of the body, using a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes and sometimes magnetometers.
Used to maneuver aircraft, UAVs, spacecraft, satellites etc.
Rasberry Pi
Tiny computer
Rugged
This could mean protection from harsh environments like moisture, extreme temperatures, mechanical shock and vibration etc
Surface Mount
Anything that sits on top of the PCB at a specific place
Chassis Mount
Has a connector to the module and can sit wherever.
LGA (Land Grid Array)
Type of surface mount packaging for integrated circuits
Common Communication Protocols
I2C or I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit Protocol)
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
CAN (Controller Area Network)
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
Ongoing Research and Questions
What’s our budget??Research on Kalman filtering algorithms (appears in most industrial grade IMUs from research so far)
Max size of circuitNeed for “ruggedness”Find out what “ruggedness” meansHow does packaging factor into requirements
Surface vs Chassis MountNecessary grades/standards of IMU
