Complete Sensing Solution for Radio Control and Robotic Systems Targets Miniature Ground and Airborne Vehicles
San Jose, California - June 6, 2005 - Crossbow Technology, Inc. (www.xbow.com), the leading provider of inertial systems to the Avionics market announced the release of the [micro]NAV(TM), a low cost, miniature sized complete air/ground vehicle sensor package. The [micro]NAV is a calibrated digital sensor system and servo control board targeted at miniature ground and airborne vehicles. Typical applications for the [micro]NAV sensor system include navigation and control in robotics and radio control (R/C) aircraft.
The [micro]NAV 9-axis sensor suite includes accelerometers, angular rate sensors, and magnetometers for inner loop control applications. It also combines static pressure (altitude) and dynamic pressure (airspeed) sensors for airborne control and a GPS receiver for navigation and path planning. The [micro]NAV R/C servo driving hardware allows direct connection of remote control servos to the [micro]NAV for software control. The R/C receiver PPM interface allows for software interpretation of remote control receiver commands and switching between software control and remote control receiver control for human "takeover" capability. The [micro]NAV firmware and tool chain is open-source for maximum user flexibility. PC based inertial calibration software is included for easy recalibration of the [micro]NAV sensors
