DESCRIPTION
The IM10A is a high-performance 10-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) designed for robotics, autonomous systems, and motion tracking applications. Developed by Hiwonder, this module integrates a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer, and a barometric pressure sensor to deliver accurate attitude, heading, and altitude data in real time.
With built-in sensor fusion algorithms and automatic calibration, the IM10A provides stable and reliable orientation output without requiring complex external computation. It supports both ROS1 and ROS2 ecosystems, making it ideal for developers working with robotic platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Jetson, STM32, and industrial PCs.
The module features a high-speed output rate of up to 200Hz and supports multiple communication interfaces including USB Type-C, UART (TTL), and I2C, ensuring flexible integration into various systems.
Encased in a CNC-machined aluminum housing, the IM10A offers excellent durability, heat dissipation, and anti-interference performance for long-term stable operation.
