CUAV C-Compass RM3100 sensor
CUAV C-Compass RM3100 is a Professional Grade compass and magnetometer that uses RM3100 as the internal sensor. It is a game-changing sensor that has revolutionized magnetic field measurements. CUAV C-Compass is an operational module that eliminates magnetic interference and noise coming from external sources. It ensures high accuracy in heading and orientation calculations.
Designed to provide a reliable heading reference, this 3-axis magnetometer employs PNI’s proprietary magneto-inductive technology, surpassing industry standards with its exceptional resolution and minimal noise interference. With over 10 times better resolution and more than 20 times lower noise compared to leading Hall Effect sensors, the RM3100 guarantees precise navigation through waypoints, mitigating disturbances caused by motor coils and metallic components.
The Professional Grade Magnetometer RM3100 offers unparalleled resolution at 10 nanoteslas (10 nT), catering to applications demanding superior accuracy. Its user-friendly design allows for seamless integration, eliminating the need for temperature calibration while delivering consistent, high-performance results.
CUAV C-Compass uses DroneCAN output protocol which is suitable for over long distances. The main benefit is that it also reduces the number of occupied interfaces as it performs as a single bus that all other accessories that support CAN protocols can be connected to it.
