Xsens MTi 1-Series 3D AHRS/VRU/IMU Module
Xsens MTi 1-series 3D AHRS / VRU / IMU Module outputs 3D orientation, 3D rate of turn, 3D accelerations, and 3D magnetic field, depending on the product configuration. The Xsens MTi 1-Series is available as an inertial measurement unit (IMU), vertical reference unit (VRU), or attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). The MTi 1-Series module is only 12mm x 12mm, SMD mountable, and suitable for high-volume applications. The industry-standard communication protocol allows customization of the data message, including data, frequency, and output format. Signals are fully processed on board, requiring minimal host resources. This module is ideal for applications in simple microcontroller-operated environments.
Xsens recommends the AHRS (MTi-3) Development Kit for first-time purchases, which can be retrofitted to a VRU/IMU.
