Designed for plug-n-play installation onto robots such as those used in the WorldSkills Robotics, <em>FIRST</em> Technology Challenge (FTC) and the <em>FIRST</em> Robotics Challenge (FRC), navX2-Micro helps build better robots by adding sophisticated navigation capabilities. Significant improvements over the classic navX2-Micro allow for more accuracy, decreased yaw drift, and faster boot time. navX2-Micro includes software algorithms for enhanced sensor calibration as well as KalmanFilter-based data fusion combining gyro, accelerometer, and magnetometer data into a 9-axis heading and high-quality magnetometer calibration including magnetic disturbance detection.<br /> <br />In addition to being an Inertial Measurement Unit, navX2-Micro capabilities are referred to within the aerospace industry as an “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_and_heading_reference_system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attitude/Heading Reference System</a>” (AHRS).
