The PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 combines the functionality of a 3-axis compass, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis accelerometer all in one convenient package. It is an inexpensive alternative to the 1044 - PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3, and is ideal for applications where it's more important to know the general motion of an object rather than the precise amounts. The 1042 could be used to: Track whether an object is moving, and in which direction Detect the presence of nearby movement or vibration Track the orientation of a stationary object relative to the earth's gravitational pull and the direction relative to magnetic north Product Specifications Accelerometer Acceleration Measurement Max ± 8 g Acceleration Measurement Resolution 976.7 μg Accelerometer White Noise σ 2.8 mg Accelerometer Minimum Drift σ 1.9 mg Accelerometer Optimal Averaging Period 286 s Gyroscope Gyroscope Speed Max ± 2000°/s Gyroscope Resolution 0.07°/s Gyroscope White Noise σ 0.59°/s Gryoscope Minimum Drift σ 0.0019°/s Gyroscope Optimal Averaging Period 8628 s Magnetometer Magnetic Field Max 5.5 G Magnetometer Resolution 3 mG Magnetometer White Noise σ 1.2 mG Magnetometer Minimum Drift σ 87 μG Board Controlled By USB (Mini-USB) API Object Name Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer Current Consumption Max 40 mA Sampling Speed Min 1 s/sample Sampling Speed Max 4 ms/sample Sampling Speed Min (Webservice) 1 s/sample Sampling Speed Max (Webservice) 12 ms/sample USB Voltage Min 4.4 V DC USB Voltage Max 5.3 V DC USB Speed Full Speed Operating Temperature Min -40 °C Operating Temperature Max 85 °C
