Overview
The TDK InvenSense DK-43686-P Development Kit provides a development platform for the TDK ICM-42686-P MotionTracking™ inertial measurement unit (IMU). The kit connects to the onboard embedded debugger without requiring any external tools for programming and debugging, and is supported by a GUI for embedded applications.
Six-Axis Motion Tracking Prototyping with Robust Hardware Support
Designed for the ICM-42686-P IMU, the development kit facilitates seamless evaluation and prototyping of six-axis motion applications. It can handle a 3-axis gyro and a 3-axis accelerometer, offering easy evaluation of MEMS applications.
The integrated TDK InvenSense motion sensor comes with magnetic sensor support and plug-in daughter boards. Moreover, it features an extended full-scale range of ±4000dps for the gyroscope and ±32g for the accelerometer. It allows for high-precision motion analysis in various applications such as sports, golf/tennis swing analyzers, basketball tracking, and game controllers. intelligent soccer balls, and wearable applications.
The board also features a Microchip SAMG55 microcontroller with a 512KB Flash memory. The debugging tools include an onboard embedded debugger for debugging and programming. All peripherals are powered via a USB cable.
Configurable Interfaces with Support for Various Communication Protocols
The TDK InvenSense DK-42686-P Development Kit integrates with the SmartMotion Platform Ver. G comprehensive development system, featuring the essential software and communication tools that allow it to seamlessly integrate with the ecosystem. It doesn’t rely on external tools for debugging and programming, thanks to I3CSM, SPI, and I2C communication support.
The host interface features 2kB FIFO programmable interrupts that offer ultra-low-power wake-on-motion support. It reduces system power consumption, making it a viable option for low-power wearable devices.
Moreover, there is a built-in FTDI-to-UART interface that supports high-speed data transfer from motion sensors to the controllers. The robust support for motion sensing and on-board debugging capabilities makes this kit a useful option for low-power devices. Hence, it has wide-ranging applications in high-speed applications such as virtual reality, robotics, game controllers, intelligent sports equipment, and swing analyzers.
