1. The higher rate of bandwidth setting will lead to the higher fluctuation in data waveform. Conversely, the lower rate of bandwidth, data will become more fluent. For example: Bandwidth as 20Hz, Output rate as 10Hz. The waveform is very steady. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 29 -...
Page 30
For example, if the bandwidth setting is 20Hz, retrieval rate as 100Hz, there will be 5 repeating data. If you prefer there is no repeating data, it is required to increase the bandwidth more than 100Hz. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 30 -...
9-axis algorithm: Z-axis angle is mainly calculated and analyzed based on the magnetic field. Z-axis angle will have few drift. The default algorithm of BWT901 is 9-axis. If there is magnetic field interference around installed environment, it is recommended to switch to 6-axis algorithm to detect the angle.
2. It is recommended to use method shown in the Chapter 3.3.1 If Bluetooth device cannot be shown on search result, it is recommended to try another method in the Chapter 3.3.2 BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 32 -...
Step 1. Install the APK file, give permission of Location and Storage Step 2. Open APP and choose “9-axis series” Step 3. Turn on the sensor and search “HC-06”, input password “1234”. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 33 -...

Step 6. Click “Scan” and select the paired Bluetooth device “HC-06” (No need to input password) Step 7. The Blue LED light of sensor will keep on. Connection with APP is successful. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 36 -...
Step 1. Keep the module horizontally stationary Step 2. Click the “Calibration” menu Step 3. Click the “Acceleration Calibration” and wait for 3 seconds Step 5. Judge the result--confirm if there is 1g on Z-axis acceleration BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 37 -...
Step 4. After rotation, click “Finish” Check the result: The Z-axis angle will have fewer drift than before. Notice: If not successful, please stay away from the objective that can create magnetic field interference. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 38 -...
1. The multiple-connection will require the USB-HID 2.0 adapter. The USB-HID adapter is driver-free design. 2. Each BWT901 Bluetooth 2.0 sensor can only pair with 1 USB-HID adapter. 3. The multiple-connection can reach up to 8pcs. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english...
