Abstract
An orientation-determining device to determine orientation of a vehicle includes a housing, a circuit board, and an orientation-identifying electronic device that includes an integrated accelerometer, an integrated gyroscope, and an integrated magnetometer. The orientation-identifying electronic device is coupled to the circuit board. The orientation-determining device includes a gyroscope that is coupled to the circuit board, an accelerometer that is coupled to the circuit board, and a dampening structure connected between the housing and the circuit board to isolate the circuit board, the orientation-identifying electronic device, the gyroscope, and the accelerometer from vibrations of the housing.
