MTi-2 VRU

The MTi-2 is a self-contained vertical reference unit.

MTi-2 VRU

An industry-leading development platform

Calibrated data

The MTi-2 is a self-contained vertical reference unit (VRU) featuring sensors that provide calibrated data on the rate of turn, the acceleration, and the magnetic field – all in 3D.

Sensor fusion algorithm

A sensor fusion algorithm computes 3D orientation data based on a gravity reference frame: drift-free roll, pitch, and accurate, unreferenced yaw.

Smallest industrial grade form factor

As part of the MTi 1-series, it is among the smallest of its kind available, with each module measuring only 12.1 × 12.1 mm and weighing <1 g.

Comprehensive, all-in-one solution

Suitable for a wide range of (embedded) applications, the MTi-2 is part of the MTi 1-series. It’s a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that eliminates the need for you to design your own system and incorporate separate gyroscopes, accelerometers and other sensors.
