𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱-𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆?

 

For drones, the choice of IMU is related to drone performance. Indicators such as accuracy, stability, and compatibility are all very critical. As the “nerve center” of drones, how does IMU enable flight?

Take a nine-axis IMU ER-MIMU-07 as an example, which has a built-in three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer, and three-axis magnetometer. The measurement data is transmitted to the flight control system to obtain information such as the attitude, speed, and displacement of the drone.

**The secret of wind-resistant flight and high-definition aerial photography**

The built-in gyroscope has a measurement range of 400º/s, bias instability <0.1 º/h, and angle random walk <0.05°/√h. The accelerometer measurement range is 30g, bias stability is <50ug, and bias repeatability is 100ug.

The data provided by the IMU can monitor the pitch, roll, and yaw attitude of the drone in real time. When the drone encounters strong winds or sharp turns, the real-time data of the IMU will trigger the flight control to quickly adjust the motor speed. Ensure stable flight and silky smooth shooting without shaking.

**Small and lightweight: flexible installation**

This IMU is only 38.6x 44.8 x25.5mm in size and weighs ≤70g, so it can be easily installed in various fuselage spaces.

**Better performance, lower price**

It has better performance than STIM300, but at a lower price, helping drones reduce costs.

       GNSS satellite refresh rate is low and the signal is easily blocked or interrupted, resulting in GNSS signal loss. The integrated navigation system of GNSS+INS can make up for these problems, and the high-precision INS can keep working in a short time when GNSS loses lock.

GNSS+INS combined navigation is widely used in large unmanned aerial vehicles, mobile mapping, geographic information collection, urban intelligent transportation and other applications due to its sustainable navigation, high precision and high autonomy.

Our integrated navigation ER-GNSS/MINS-01 has ultra-high precision at the surveying and mapping level. It can provide continuous and high-precision position, velocity and attitude (roll, pitch and yaw) information.

**Mapping-level high-precision navigation**

The integrated navigation information provided has a roll and pitch accuracy of up to 0.01° and post-processing of 0.004°. The heading can reach 0.05°, 0.01° after post-processing, and the speed accuracy can reach 0.03m/s.

Supports RTK positioning, can automatically identify RTCM, and enter RTK state.

In the case of RTK interruption for 30 seconds, the roll and pitch accuracy can be maintained at 0.01°, and the heading accuracy can be maintained at 0.01°. The position is maintained at 0.2m and the height is maintained at 0.08m.

**High-precision core components**

Built-in high-performance navigation-grade MEMS gyroscope and accelerometer, the gyroscope measurement range is ±200°/s, and the bias instability is <0.02°/h. The accelerometer measurement range is ±60g, and the bias instability (Allen curve) is <2ug.

**Full-band full-system**

The built-in dual-antenna positioning and orientation GNSS module supports all major global satellite navigation systems (GPS/BDS/GLONASS/Galileo/QZSS), and can perform high-precision and rapid positioning and orientation. At the same time, it is compatible with all frequency points, and can obtain the best positioning effect at any location in the world.

The built-in satellite receiver has strong anti-interference ability, can still provide accurate positioning in complex electromagnetic environments, and also supports a variety of communication interfaces.

**Small size and light weight**

The size is only 65×70×45.5mm, the weight is less than 300g, and the aluminum alloy shell is used to ensure reliability. And the operating temperature range can reach -40°C to 80°C, which is suitable for most working environments.

From attitude to flight control, IMU protects drone flight in all aspects

 


IMU provides key flight data for drones, which can help drones achieve multiple functions such as attitude control, navigation, flight control, etc. The data provided is used by the flight control system to generate control instructions, make quick responses during flight, maintain stability, and achieve precise flight control.

Now we have an IMU ER-MIMU-03Mini, which is small in size, light in weight, and has low power consumption, which is very suitable for drones that pursue long-range and lightweight.

**Small size, easy to install**

The volume is 40*40*42 (with shell)/27*26*34 (without shell), and the weight is 120g (with shell)/80g (without shell). The compact and small design can be easily installed in the drone.

**High-precision sensor**

The built-in gyroscope has a measurement range of 400º/s, bias instability (1σ 25℃) <0.3 º/h, and angular velocity random walk <0.125°/√h. The accelerometer has a measurement range of 30g, bias stability (10s 1σ) <50ug, and bias repeatability is 100ug.

The measured data supports the flight control system to detect the attitude changes of the drone in real time. The data provided by the IMU, combined with other sensor data, helps determine the position and direction of the drone.

**OEM Customization Service**

This IMU adopts modular design, and we also provide OEM customization service.

The IMU can be connected to the user system and obtain data with simple operation, without using the 15-pin plug we provide. At the same time, by removing the bottom plate shell, the size and weight of our product can be greatly reduced.

In summary, IMU is an indispensable component of the UAV flight control system, ensuring that the UAV can fly stably and accurately perform flight missions.
