Honeywell
Introduces the HMR3100 Digital Compass
New Magnetic Product Provides Users with Low
Cost Method for Deriving Heading Measurements |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
Minnesota, May 8, 2002 -- Honeywell [NYSE:HON]
today introduced the HMR3100 Digital Compass,
a two-axis electronic compass circuit board
that can be easily and inexpensively integrated
into new or existing navigation applications.
With this addition to its magnetic sensor
product family, Honeywell provides users with
a complete turnkey solution for electronic
compassing. Engineers can easily integrate
the HMR3100 into their own systems via a simple
USART communication interface which makes
it ready for use in applications like vehicle
compasses, navigation systems, hand held electronics,
and telescope positioning. The HMR3100 utilizes
Honeywell's magnetoresistive sensors for reliability
and accuracy and includes electronics to provide
a digital readout of heading measurements.
|
| |
| The
HMR3100 circuit contains Honeywell's HMC1022
two-axis magnetic sensors which provide x
and y-axis magnetic sensing of earth's magnetic
field. Small size and low weight are added
features of this solid state compass. A development
kit for this product is available. It includes
additional hardware and a Windows demonstration
program software. |
| |
| Honeywell's
complete family of magnetic sensor-based products
offer high sensitivity for accurate compassing,
remote vehicle detection monitoring, virtual
reality, position sensing, security systems
and medical instrumentation. For more information
