An industry-leading development platform
Miniature form factor
The MTi-8 is the smallest real-time kinematic (RTK)-enhanced motion tracking module of its kind (12.1 × 12.1 mm).
Low cost and easy to integrate
It is supported by the MT Software Suite, which includes MT Manager (GUI for Windows/Linux), SDK, example code and drivers for many platforms, including ROS.
A wide range of (embedded) outdoor applications
The MTi-8 relieves you of the task of designing, integrating, and maintaining gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other sensors for GNSS/INS functionality.

Free to download MT Software Suite
The MT Software Suite gives you easy access to the MTi-8 and contains a specially developed, easy-to-use graphical user interface, as well as drivers for various operating systems. It also offers many other useful tools, for example source code and documentation.
The suite comes with complete documentation. Of course, you can also always contact our technical support staff if you have questions.
Software Suite includes different software programs, such as:
MT Manager (GUI)
This provides you with easy access to all the functions of your MTi from the comfort of your office. MT Manager enables recording and playback of data, real-time data viewing, including graphs, and easy configuration of settings.
MT SDK
This program is for self-developing your software to communicate with our sensor, including programming examples for C, C++, C#, MATLAB, Python, ROS, and Nucleo/STM boards.
Magnetic Field Mapper
Magnetic Field Mapper (MFM) is a calibration tool for conducting magnetic calibration, available as GUI for Windows and as SDK.
