This compact, all-in-one sensor leverages the power of the PAA5160E1 chip from PixArt Imaging Inc., delivering accurate dual-axis motion data across various hard floor surfaces. But that's not all! This sensor boasts a powerful built-in 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and an onboard microcontroller that performs real-time sensor fusion and tracking algorithms.\nThe Optical Tracking Odometry board measures a mere 1in. by 1in. and boasts a smaller profile than its industry counterparts. Unlike bulkier options that require multiple boards, this sensor features a single-board design with an onboard tracking algorithm. User-friendly Arduino and Python libraries simplify integration, quickly getting you up and running.\nThe PAA5160E1 chip offers exceptional tracking performance with a typical error rate of 3-5% within a working range of 10mm to 27mm. However, a calibration within the sensor's firmware can significantly reduce this error to under 1% in ideal conditions. This sensor excels at high-speed motion tracking of up to 2.5 meters per second, making it an excellent choice for navigating warehouse robots, commercial robots, and other fast-moving applications.\nThanks to its Qwiic compatibility, the SparkFun sensor integrates seamlessly into your XRP or other robotics projects. This user-friendly interface eliminates complex wiring configurations and simplifies connection to other Qwiic-enabled components. The included Arduino and Python libraries and the onboard tracking algorithm in the firmware streamline the development process, allowing you to focus on creating innovative robot functionalities.","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[{"name":"Title","values":["SparkFun Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor - PAA5160E1 (Qwiic)"]}],"variants":[{"id":965,"title":"SparkFun Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor - PAA5160E1 (Qwiic)","sku":"SF-SEN-24904","price":166.79,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"SparkFun Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor - PAA5160E1 (Qwiic)"}]}
