MTi-2
About
The MTi-2 is a self-contained Vertical Reference Unit (VRU). Its sensors provide calibrated inertial data on the 3D rate of turn, 3D acceleration and 3D magnetic field, while an added sensor fusion algorithm computes 3D orientation data on the basis of a gravity-reference frame: drift-free roll, pitch, and accurate, unreferenced yaw.
As a member of the MTi 1-series, the MTi-2 stands out for its small form factor (12.1mm x 12.1mm), easy integration, low cost and robustness – as well as its strapdown integration algorithm. Suitable for a wide range of (embedded) applications, the MTi-2 relieves you of the effort of integrating and maintaining gyroscopes, accelerometers and other sensors as well as of having to design an all-in-one VRU solution.

MTi-2 Software
You can manage your MTi-2 with the MT Software Suite, which contains an easy-to-use graphical user interface, as well as drivers for various operating systems. Many other useful tools are also included, such as:
- MT Manager (GUI)
- MT SDK, including programming examples for C, C++, C#, MATLAB, Python, ROS and Nucleo boards
- Magnetic Field Mapper (MFM) calibration tool, as GUI and SDK
The suite comes with complete documentation and you can always access our technical support staff.
Where to buy
Are you ready to purchase or try out an MTi-2 module? Here are three next steps you can choose from.
Get a Development Kit
If you are considering working with an MTi solution for the first time, we strongly recommend getting started with a Development Kit (DK). This kit offers everything you will need to develop – or at least quick-start – a prototype, conduct a feasibility study, and generally evaluate the MTi for your application. Each kit contains the sensors of your choice; a PCB Development Board, offering easy access to all of the sensors’ pins and interfaces; a cable; and a USB converter.
For the MTi-2, please order the MTi-3 DK
