Temperature Response Comparison of 3-Axis Gyroscopes

Abstract

Gyroscope sensor data was gathered from three different models of 9DOF IMU sensors: Kootek, Microstrain, and Phidget. Two sensors of each model were tested in a temperature chamber on each of the three axis X, Y, and Z and at each of three temperature points 0, 25, and 65 C. Three test runs were run at each test point. The data from this testing shows that the Microstrain sensed values were less accurate than the Kootek sensed values. Phidget sensed values were not able to be analyzed as the data was incomplete, despite rerunning the test using a third sensor.
