1 Introduction
The WT901BLECL BLE5.0 is a multi-sensor device detecting acceleration,
angular velocity, angle as well as magnetic filed. The robust housing and the
small outline makes it perfectly suitable for industrial retrofit applications
such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Configuring the
device enables the customer to address a broad variety of use cases by
interpreting the sensor data by smart algorithms.
WT901BLECL BLE5.0’s scientific name is AHRS IMU sensor. A sensor
measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration, magnetic field. Its
strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate the three-axis angle
accurately.
It is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required.
WT901BLECL BLE5.0 offers several advantages over competing sensor:
• Heated for best data availability: new WITMOTION patented zero-bias
automatic detection calibration algorithm outperforms traditional
accelerometer sensor
• High precision Roll Pitch Yaw (X Y Z axis) Acceleration + Angular Velocity +
Angle + Magnetic Field output
• Low cost of ownership: remote diagnostics and lifetime technical support by
WITMOTION service team
• Developed tutorial: providing manual, datasheet, demo video, free software
for Windows computer, APP for Android smartphones, iOS APP for iPhone,
communication protocol for project development
• WITMOTION sensors have been praised by thousands of engineers as a
recommended attitude measurement solution

1.1 Warning Statement
Putting more than 5 Volt across the sensor wiring of
the main power supply can lead to permanent damage
to the sensor.
VCC cannot connect with GND directly, otherwise it
will lead to the burning of the circuit board.
For proper instrument grounding: use WITMOTION
with its original factory-made cable or accessories.
Do not access the I2C interface.
Do not change the baud rate because WitMotion
Bluetooth sensor’s baud rate is fixed.
For secondary developing project or integration:
use WITMOTION with its compiled sample code.

2.1.2 BLE 5.0 Adapter Connection
Adapter’s CP2102 driver link
Step 1. Insert adapter into the USB port in the beginning
Step 2. Turn on the switch of the sensor after blue light of adapter flashes
Step 3. Wait till the adapter's blue LED light keeps on
Step 4. Sensor’s Blue LED light remaining flashing means pairing succeeded
Step 5. Open the software, Minimu.exe
Step 6. Data will appear once the auto-search finished
