The board is based on the MTI-8-5A, an RTK-enhanced GNSS/INS module from Xsens that combines GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning with advanced inertial sensing and real-time sensor fusion.
Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “This new Click board is ideal for robotics, autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, surveying systems, and other outdoor navigation and motion-tracking applications that require high accuracy and reliability.”
It features Xsens’ sensor fusion algorithm, with output data rates up to 100 Hz for high-speed dead-reckoning, delivering roll and pitch accuracy of 0.5° RMS, yaw accuracy of 1° RMS (with GNSS aiding) and position accuracy down to 1cm + 1ppm CEP in RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) mode.
It integrates a high-range gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer, supports external RTK-capable GNSS receivers over UART and offers flexible interface selection via UART, SPI or I2C, along with USB Type-C configuration.
XSENS MTi-8 Click is a recent addition to MIKROE’s 1900-strong mikroBUS-enabled Click board family. The board also features the ClickID function which enables automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use.
Devices can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS standard, and come with the mikroSDK open-source libraries.
