GDM355/GDM365 Dynamic 3D Electronic Compass

Product catalog summary
Product Introduction
The GDM365 is a dynamic 3D electronic compass featuring a 12-axis inertial measurement unit. It integrates three-axis attitude angle measurement, accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. The device uses dynamic inertial navigation algorithms to calculate pitch and roll angles in real-time, even in complex conditions. It includes hard and soft magnetic calibration algorithms to mitigate geomagnetic interference, ensuring reliable heading output at tilt angles of ±85°. The compass supports interfaces like RS232, RS485, and TTL, with customization options available. Its compact size and low power consumption make it ideal for high-vibration environments such as marine vessels and satellite search systems.

GDM355/GDM365 Dynamic 3D Electronic Compass-6

The azimuth measurement of a 3D electronic compass is based on the principle of geomagnetic induction, and its installation environment must meet strict magnetic interference control requirements. To ensure measurement accuracy, the following installation specifications should be followed: 1. Magnetic Environment Requirements: The installation location should be far away from ferromagnetic materials (such as iron products, permanent magnets, etc.) and electromagnetic equipment (such as motors, transformers, etc.); the minimum distance from potential interference sources should be at least 40cm...

GDM355/GDM365 Dynamic 3D Electronic Compass-7

Calibration method Calibration prerequisites: 1) The compass accuracy does not meet the requirements; 2) If there is a fixed magnetic field interference in the compass installation environment (e.g., installed on ferrous materials), the interference source and the compass must be rotated synchronously for calibration, and their relative positions must be kept fixed during use; otherwise, recalibration is required. If the size or distance of the interference source is not fixed (e.g., a variable iron component), calibration is not possible; a safe installation distance of at least 30cm should...
