GPS data. Its strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately. WTGAHRS2 is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required. It offers several advantages over competing sensor: • Heated for best data availability: new WITMOTION patented zero-bias...
For proper instrument grounding: use WITMOTION with its original factory-made cable or accessories. Do not access the I2C interface. For secondary developing project or integration: use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 6 -...
Use Instructions with PC Connection Method PC software is only compatible with Windows system. Link to WTGAHRS2’s demo video 2.1.1 Serial Connection Step 1. Connect the sensor with a serial converter PIN Connection: VCC - TX - RX - GND - GND (When connecting with computer, VCC-5V is recommended.)

After calibration, the measurement will be accurate. Methods: Step 1. Keep the module horizontally stationary Step 2. Click the accelerometer calibration Step 3. Click the “Start calibration”and wait for 3 seconds Step 4. Click “Complete Calibration” WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 14 -...

0, 0,1, the X and Y axis Angle is around 0°. After calibration, the x-y axis Angle is accurate. Note: When putting the module horizontal, there is 1g of gravitational acceleration on the Z-axis. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 15 -...
Preparation: Sensors should be 20CM away from magnetic and iron and other materials Methods: Step 1. Open the Config menu Step 2. Click the magnetic field calibration button. click the “Start calibration” WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 16 -...

Step 3. Slowly rotate the module 360° around X, Y, Z, 3-axis accordingly WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 17 -...
The gyroscope calibration is to calibrate the angular velocity, and the sensor will calibrate automatically. It is recommended that the automatic calibration of gyroscopes can be inactivated only if the module rotates at a constant speed. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 18 -...
Z axis backs to 0 degree in the module data bar. 2.3.5 Reset Height to 0 You can click the “Reset Height” in the “ config” to complete the setting. Only available for the module built-in barometer like WT901B, HWT901B, WTGAHRS1, WTGAHRS2. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 19 -...
Configuration 2.4.1 GPS Positioning Notice: The WTGAHRS2 is built-in antenna, which is requiring operation outdoor. To set GPS positioning, you need to check whether the GPS has original data output. Step 1: Open the configuration bar and click the "GPS original"as output data.
Page 21
Step 2: After the verification is completed, unclick "GPS original". Otherwise, the module only outputs the original GPS data and no other data. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 21 -...
Page 22
Remember to increase the output rate and baud rate to higher level, if you require many kinds of output content. Step 5. Check the GPS positioning result There will be data shown on the Location and PDOP. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 22 -...
Taking WTGAHRS2 as an example, the default output of the module is acceleration, angular velocity, angle, and magnetic field. GPS time will be based on the time zone up there.
To put it simply, if the return rate is high, the baud rate should also be set higher, generally 115200. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 24 -...
Note: After the change, the module will no longer output data at the original baud rate. The data will be output only when the baud rate that has been changed is selected on the PC software again. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 25 -...

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. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 32 -...
Page 33
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. WTGAHRS2| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 33 -...
