Analysis of various errors of orientation and motion sensors and their influence on resulting compass attitude information are investigated and quantified in this paper. A triple-axis acceleration sensor and a triple-axis magnetic sensor are considered to form a compass module giving full orientation information (attitude). 3D-compass module with PCB-fluxgate sensors and off-shelf acceleration sensor is introduced. Three main sensor error sources are discussed separately and their contribution to final compass heading accuracy is investigated. These are sensor orthogonality error, linearity error and ADC quantization noise. The influence of these errors is simulated on artificial group of test cases which evenly covers various orientations of the compass module. It was found that the errors in the accelerometric system have major influence on the heading accuracy. It was concluded that even low-resolution AD converters may have only a minor influence on the system accuracy, while the dominant error sources are sensor triplet nonorthogonality and sensor non-linearity.
