Professional Motion Tracking. Simplified.
The Tercio IMU isn't just a sensor breakout; it is a smart edge device designed for serious robotics. We took the Bosch BNO085—famous for its superior sensor fusion—and paired it with a high-performance STM32 MCU and CAN FD architecture. The result? You can run long cables across your robot without signal degradation, noise, or the complex calibration rituals of standard modules.
Why the Tercio IMU is the upgrade you need:
The "Gold Standard" Sensor: We utilize the BNO085, renowned for its ability to filter out magnetic interference and provide buttery-smooth absolute orientation.
Built for the Tercio Ecosystem: Designed to daisy-chain seamlessly with our NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 Stepper Drivers. One bus, multiple devices, zero cable clutter.
Industrial Connectivity: Forget fragile USB or noise-prone I2C. Our 2.5 Mbps CAN FD connection ensures your data arrives instantly and accurately, even in electrically noisy environments (like near motors).
Onboard Intelligence: With a dedicated 170MHz STM32 processor handling the heavy lifting and a built-in temperature sensor for thermal compensation, your main computer is free to run your application, not sensor drivers.
Software That Just Works
Hardware is only half the battle. The Tercio IMU comes with:
Rich Python Libraries: Get data streaming in lines of code, not pages.
Intuitive Web UI: Visualize orientation, calibrate the sensor, and monitor system health instantly through a browser-based dashboard.
