ACEINNA has announced its new OpenIMU300RI. A rugged, sealed-package, open-source, nine-Degree-of-Freedom (9-DoF) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for autonomous off road, construction, agricultural and automotive vehicle applications. This new open-source IMU, allows engineers to easily optimise an attitude, navigation or other algorithm for their vehicle/application and run it in on the IMU.

At the Sensors Expo and Conference, ACEINNA plans to demonstrate its latest advanced sensing technologies. The event is going to be held June 25th to June 27th, 2019 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. Booth number 1635. The exhibition area is open Wednesday, June 26th and Thursday, June 27th, starting at 10am. ACEINNA is in Booth 1635.

  ACEINNA has announced the availability of a new whitepaper for engineers involved in developing power management solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. Written by Khagendra Thapa, VP Current Sensor Product for ACEINNA, this new whitepaper outlines the basic issues that are addressed by current sensors and why they are important.

Power supply circuits are literally everywhere. From the ubiquitous power bricks that recharge our phones to kilowatt server supplies in data centres, every modern electrified gadget has a switched-mode power supply circuit. Who wants to carry around a heavy laptop brick? What data centre does not want to drive energy cost down while at the same time increasing compute capacity?  By Mike Horton, CTO of ACEINNA 

A new video explains how the ACEINNA Open Navigation Platform simplifies and accelerates navigation solution designs.

The new MCx1101 family of ±5A, ±20A, and ±50A current sensors for industrial and power supply applications has been announced by ACEINNA. The first high accuracy wide bandwidth AMR-based current sensors on the market, units and evaluation boards are available now for sampling and volume shipments.

With built-in inertial sensors the new INS1000 high performance dual band RTK INS (Real-Time Kinematic Inertial Navigation System), has been announced by ACEINNA, for construction, agriculture and automotive applications. The INS1000 embeds ACEINNA’s nine degree-of-freedom inertial sensor technology to achieve Automotive Dead Reckoning performance in GNSS challenged environments.

The OpenIMU solution from ACEINNA consists of three key parts. First is a family of Inertial Measurement Units consisting of three high-accuracy accelerometers, three high-accuracy gyros, and a powerful ARM Coretex. Zoom in on OpenIMU and OpenIMU CAN Second is an OpenSource tool chain and reference code for programming the IMU.

Why would you want to know the dynamic tilt angle on a vehicle? Consider a classic example of a plane in the clouds. The pilot cannot see the ground, nor can he or she trust their instincts because they will feel a false gravity when the aircraft is turning. This means they need a dynamic tilt sensor which – in an aircraft - is often called a vertical gyro or the artificial horizon. Similar technology is used in automobiles.

ACEINNA and IEEE GlobalSpec are providing a special technical how-to webinar for developers of autonomous systems – more precisely, how to affordably and quickly develop guidance, localisation and navigation systems for drones, autonomous cars, robots, cars, industrial AGVs, etc.

A professionally supported, open-source GPS/GNSS-aided inertial navigation software stack for low-cost precise navigation applications, has been announced by ACEINNA with the OpenIMU. The integrated hardware and software aims to cut development time and costs by up to 80%.

It has been announced by ACEINNA that its new MEMS based MTLT305D Dynamic Tilt Sensor Module is available. It combines accelerometers, gyroscopes and a temperature sensor with advanced calibration and correction algorithms to provide accurate 3D acceleration, 3D rate and Pitch and Roll measurement in dynamic, moving vehicle applications.

In the MEMS and sensing technology sector, ACEINNA has emerged from as a large ‘spin out’ company. In addition, the new and improved ACEINNA website is up and running, making it easier for customers to research and find the appropriate sensing products for their applications.
