General Information

This document provides information on the contents and usage of the MTi 1-series Development Kits. The MTi 1-series module (MTi 1-s) is a fully functional, self-contained module that is easy to design-in. The MTi 1-s can be connected to a host through I2C, SPI or UART interfaces. The MTi-3 Development Kit (MTi-3-DK) enables users to evaluate features for the MTi-3 (AHRS), MTi-2 (VRU/AHT) and MTi-1 (IMU) modules. The MTi-7 Development Kit (MTi-7-DK) enables users to evaluate features of the MTi-7 (external GNSS/INS), and the MTi-8 Development Kit (MTi-8-DK) enables users to evaluate features of the MTi-8 (external GNSS/INS). In addition to the MTi 1-s interfaces, both Development Kits include a USB interface.

 

The MTi 1-series module consists of components that are sensitive to stress. As a result, sensor characteristics may change when forces are applied to the module. As each module is calibrated individually, Xsens cannot guarantee performance after improper handling. It is therefore recommended not to remove the module from the socket, and to use the Development Kit for prototyping and evaluation purposes only. For more information on proper handling, refer to the MTi 1-series Hardware Integration manual (see chapter Software and documentation).

Ordering information

Due to obsolescence management and continuous improvement, the MTi 1-series is subject to hardware changes, resulting in different hardware versions (v1.x, v2.x and v3.x). The table below lists the ordering part numbers for the hardware versions that are currently available (v2.x and v3.x). For an overview of differences between these hardware versions we refer to the migration articles on BASE.
