ProMove-ToF

ProMove-ToF is a wireless Time-of-Flight (ToF) device, connecting 10 ToF STMicroelectronics VL53L8 units. Using Inertia’s high-speed and low-power wireless technology, a network of maximum 19 ProMove-ToF’s can sample and stream all sensor data in real-time. Every ProMove-ToF device samples the 10 ToF sensors at 10 Hz each, with 8x8 separate zones per ToF sensor, and transmits the information over the wireless medium.

ProMove-ToF are synchronized, as part of the same network, with our established wireless IMU, ProMove-V. ProMove-V features a complete set of ultra-low-noise digital sensors, offering multi-modal and 9-DoF (degrees of freedom) sensor data: 3-D low-g acceleration,3-D high-g acceleration, 3-D turn rate, 3-D magnetic field intensity and optionally barometric pressure and GNSS.

Features

  • Supports 10 ToF sensors per device
  • 64 separate zones at 10 Hz per ToF sensor
  • Wireless network connecting up to 19 devices
  • Fully integrated and synchronized with ProMove-V IMU
  • RF transceiver in the 2.4 GHz band
  • 16 GB on-board flash memory for data storage
  • Integrated USB-C interface

Intertia studio

The Inertia Studio software is the interface for visualizing the incoming data in real-time and configuring all devices in the network and all sensors. A C++ SDK is also available for integration with custom applications.

The Inertia Studio software enables real-time visualization and configuration of sensors and wireless parameters. All data retrieved by the Inertia Studio software is logged for post-analysis. Inertia Studio retains compatibility with ProMove-V: wireless ProMove-ToF with up to 10 ToF sensors each and wireless ProMove-V IMUs together in the same network.
