Introduction
DCM6 is a high-precision three-dimensional electronic compass (single board), using hard magnetic and soft magnetic calibration algorithms of US patent technology, so that the compass can achieve the best results through the three-dimensional calibration method in the environment with magnetic field interference, DCM6 integration Three-axis fluxgate sensor, real-time calculation of heading through the central processor, and the use of a three-axis accelerometer to compensate heading for a wide range of inclination angles, to ensure that the compass can provide high-precision heading data at an inclination angle of up to ±85 . The electronic compass integrates high-precision MCU control and diversified output methods. The standard interfaces include RS232/RS485/TTL and other interfaces, and other communication interfaces can be customized.
The DCM6 is small in size, low in power consumption, and can be used in many fields such as stable antennas, vehicles, system integration, etc. The high shock resistance and high reliability also allow the compass to work normally in extremely harsh environments, which is more suitable for today's miniaturized military industry High-precision measurement integrated control system.
