## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR1179:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR1179:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The ZL9NSQ is a high-performance 3D attitude sensor module that integrates a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope, and a three-axis magnetometer. Featuring a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F microprocessor, it utilizes the IMU Motion Engine algorithm along with a **2.4G wireless** transceiver and packaged antenna. Advanced signal processing algorithms handle high-speed sampled sensor data to deliver accurate and reliable quaternions, Euler angles, calibrated accelerations, and calibrated angular velocities, providing precise three-dimensional attitude information.

With a versatile working voltage range of 5V via USB Type-C or 3.3V/5V via P2-PH2.0/P4-VCC, and supporting multiple communication methods including **RF, UART, and SPI**, the ZL9NSQ ensures seamless integration into various systems. It achieves a static pitch/cross accuracy of 0.05° and offers a maximum data output rate of 250Hz, making it ideal for applications such as **posture monitoring**, gaming and entertainment equipment, personal health and fitness, and inertial navigation.
