1 Introduction
The WT901C is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration, angular velocity,
angle as well as magnetic filed. The small outline makes it perfectly suitable
for industrial retrofit applications such as condition monitoring and predictive
maintenance. Configuring the device enables the customer to address a
broad variety of use cases by interpreting the sensor data by smart
algorithms.
WT901C’s scientific name is AHRS IMU sensor. A sensor measures 3-axis
angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field. Its strength lies in the
algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately.
WT901C is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required.
It offers several advantages over competing sensor:
•Heated for best data availability: new WITMOTION patented zero-bias
automatic detection calibration algorithm outperforms traditional
accelerometer sensor
•High precision Roll Pitch Yaw (X Y Z axis) Acceleration + Angular Velocity +
Angle + Magnetic Field output
•Low cost of ownership: remote diagnostics and lifetime technical support by
WITMOTION service team
•Developed tutorial: providing manual, datasheet, Demo video, free software
for Windows computer, communication protocol for project development
•WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a
recommended attitude measurement solution

1.1 Warning Statement
Putting more than 5 Volt across the sensor wiring of
the main power supply can lead to permanent damage
to the sensor.
VCC cannot connect with GND directly, otherwise it
will lead to the burning of the circuit board.
For proper instrument grounding: use WITMOTION
with its original factory-made cable or accessories.
For secondary developing project or integration:
use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.

*How to verify your driver is working
1）To check that the CH340 enumerates to a COM port, you can open the device
manager. You can click the Start or ⊞(Windows) button and type "device
manager to quickly search for the application.
2）After opening the device manager, you will need to open the Ports (COM &
LPT) tree. The CH340 should show up as USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM##).
Depending on your computer, the COM port may show up as a different number.
