Description 

The MTi 1-series Development Kit is an excellent tool 
to  start  working  with  the  MTi  1-series.  It  has  a  pre-
mounted  MTi-3-8A7G6  AHRS  and  comes  with  the 
extensive  MT  Software  Suite  and  USB-cabling.  This 
software  suite  is  uniform  and  suitable  for  all  Xsens’ 
products,  including  the  high-performance  MTi  100-
series. This makes the MT Software Suite full-featured, 
with  logging  and  visualization  options,  intuitive 
configuration windows and possibilities to export data 
for use in other programs. The Software Development 
Kit  contains  source  code  for  communication  and 
libraries for data processing.  

The 24-pins header connects to all interfaces available 
on  the  MTi  1-series  module.  Connections  with 
development  platforms  for  Cortex-M  processors  of 
different  brands  can  be  made  easy  using  the  Xsens 
examples on the mbed.org website.
