AeroIMU-Pro | Tactical Grade Precision MEMS IMU Module

The AeroIMU-Pro is a compact, flight-ready external IMU module built around the Analog Devices ADIS16507 precision MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit. It provides triaxial gyroscope and triaxial accelerometer sensing with full factory calibration for sensitivity, bias, axial alignment, linear acceleration (g-sensitivity), and point of percussion. All of these features are accessible over a standard Pixhawk-compatible SPI interface through a JST GH 7-pin connector.

The module is designed as a drop-in external IMU upgrade for Pixhawk-standard autopilots, including ArduPilot and PX4, delivering industrial-grade motion sensing performance in a ruggedized, self-contained PCB assembly featuring standard 30.5 × 30.5 mm mounting geometry

• External or redundant IMU for ArduPilot and PX4 autopilots.

• Fixed-wing, multirotor, and VTOL UAV navigation and stabilisation.

• Industrial robotics and guidance systems.

• Vibration-sensitive precision platforms.

• Research and payload-grade inertial sensing.

• Powered by the Analog Devices ADIS16507 6-DoF MEMS IMU, combining a triaxial gyroscope and triaxial accelerometer.

• Available in three gyroscope dynamic range variants: ±125°/s, ±500°/s, and ±2000°/s.

• Features an accelerometer dynamic range of ±40 g.

• Fully factory-calibrated for bias, sensitivity, alignment, g-sensitivity, and point of percussion.

• Achieves a gyroscope in-run bias stability of 7.5°/hr (typical, 1σ, x-axis).

• Includes an on-board 3.3 V low-noise LDO voltage regulator that operates directly from a 5 V Pixhawk SPI rail.

• Equipped with a Pixhawk-standard JST GH 7-pin SPI connector handling SPI MOSI/MISO/SCK/CS, 3.3 V, GND, and DRDY.

• Built with a standard 30.5 × 30.5 mm M3 mounting pattern for a direct fit to most flight controller stacks.

• Rated for an industrial operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

• Supports an output data rate up to 2000 Hz with configurable decimation and FIR filtering.

• Integrates a self-test, diagnostics register, and data-ready interrupt output.

The ADIS16507 sensor architecture is engineered to seamlessly integrate with leading open-source flight stacks.

• ArduPilot: The ADIS16507 is natively supported in ArduPilot. Connect to the autopilot's SPI_EXT port and ArduPilot will auto-detect the sensor via its product ID registers.

• PX4: The ADIS16507 driver is included in the PX4 mainline and can be enabled via CONFIG_DRIVERS_IMU_ADIS16507=y.

• Connector Standard: The 7-pin JST GH connector mates directly with standard Pixhawk SPI peripheral cables, making it compatible with the Pixhawk 4, Pixhawk 6C, CubePilot Cube Orange, and similar autopilots.

At Teravolt Labs, supply chain transparency is a core engineering priority. The AeroIMU-Pro features an NDAA compliant BOM, strictly prioritizing a non-PRC supply chain. It is RoHS compliant and manufactured by Teravolt Labs Private Limited in Chandigarh, India.

Available Variants:

• TVL-AEROIMU-PRO-1 (±125°/s): Highest precision, optimized for low-vibration platforms.

• TVL-AEROIMU-PRO-2 (±500°/s): Designed for general-purpose UAV applications.

• TVL-AEROIMU-PRO-3 (±2000°/s): Engineered for high-agility platforms and racing.
