• SYD Dynamics TransducerM AHRS 9-Axis IMU for Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles (TM151/TM171)
• Precise 9-axis IMU
• Dual-port communication
• Configurable output rate
• Enhanced ESD protection
• Compact design (40x34x12.6 mm)

The SYD Dynamics TransducerM AHRS 9-Axis IMU for Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles (TM151/TM171) are Attitude and Heading Reference Systems that deliver exceptional dynamic and static performance in roll, pitch, and yaw measurements, along with remarkable yaw stability. These dedicated AHRS are designed to provide maximum performance with cost efficiency, featuring a 9-axis heading and attitude instrument that includes a calibrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The devices are equipped with serial and USB dual ports and come with a C++ communication library complete with example code to facilitate custom parsing code development. Additionally, they offer a configuration GUI (ImuAssistant) for setting adjustments and data logging, and boast factory calibration at 22.5℃ to enhance accuracy.

The TransducerM TM151/TM171 are tailored to deliver a higher cost-performance ratio for consumer-grade and entry-level industrial applications. They are calibrated at room temperature to ensure reliable gyroscope and accelerometer readings. The devices support various communication methods, including Type-C direct connection and serial communication. The communication baseboard is designed with stamp holes to simplify soldering and integration into system circuit boards.

The TM171 model is noted for its superior dynamic measurement performance compared to the TM151, offering enhanced dynamic tracking capabilities. Both models feature minimal typical yaw drift on a flat surface and low typical dynamic error in roll and pitch measurements. Yaw drift can be corrected using static start-up or manually through the API. The devices also include improved ESD protection on the TXD and RXD ports, an adjustable UART baud rate, and efficient energy consumption.

Both the TM151 and TM171 models share identical mechanical dimensions and mounting holes, facilitating their integration into various systems. They communicate through dual ports: a UART (TTL serial port) that is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V TTL levels, and a Type-C USB 2.0 Virtual COM Port. The TM171 model can achieve an output rate of up to 800Hz, with the option to configure the output rate as low as 1Hz.

These systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, including robotics, mobile robots, Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV), autonomous driving, vehicle monitoring, platform stabilization, model planes, and tracking systems.

The TransducerM TM151/TM171 should be handled with care to avoid damage to the ESD-sensitive components. It is important to follow proper static control precautions during installation and use to maintain device integrity and performance.
