IMU8440, IMU8580 and uBlox M8N and F9P RTK  

 

SOC Robotics IMU Datalogger is a turn-key, self contained, 10DOF sensor platform pre-configured to acquire, process and store 10 DOF sensor data + GPS to a uSD.  The IMU has a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyro, 3-axis magnetometer and a barometric pressure sensor.  The Datalogger has an on-board lithium battery charging circuit that automatically charges an attached lithium battery when connected to a USB port.    The IMU8420 has an Extended Kalman Filter that fuses 9DOF sensor data to produce roll, pitch and yaw in real time at max rate of 300Hz.  The uSD on each IMU is capable of handling up to 32GB cards.  Optional GPS module turns the Datalogger into a real time position logger that can store data in Google Maps compatible GPX format.

 Coming soon Desktop Browser GUI for real time monitoring and configuration control and ESP32 C6 dongle for Zigbee, Wifi and BLE integration.

New IMU8440 (Sep 2026) upgrades sensor mix for high performance tracking(ISM330, MMC5983, BMP581) with 500HZ EKF tracking loop rate boost with seamless integration of Zigbee, Wifi and BLE. High speed serial and CANFD high speed link. 

New GPS receivers coming (Oct 2026).  uBlox NEO M8N and NEO F9P bringing cm accuracy via RTK.

IMU8580 (Oct 2026) brings a new high performance processor upgrade (STM32H series) with ultra high speed 1KHz EKF 13-15 DOF tracking.
