Motion & Measurement Modules
General Description
PNI’s
SENtral
M&M
motion
and
measurement modules provide accurate
heading and orientation data in a small, low-
power-consumption, and easy-to-integrate
package. A module incorporates the
SENtral
motion
coprocessor,
a
magnetometer, an accelerometer, and a
gyroscope, with different SENtral M&M
versions comprising different sensor models.
Unlike other inertial measurement units
(IMUs) requiring extensive sensor fusion
algorithm
development
and
sensor
calibration work, the Sentral M&M modules
are pre-engineered to provide high accuracy
motion tracking and heading data. And this
is obtained at a fraction of the power used
by any other solution on the market.
The SENtral M&M comes ready to integrate
into a user’s system. Designed with SMT
soldering in mind, the pins are on an
industry-standard 3 mm pitch. The on-board
EEPROM contains SENtral’s configuration
file and this automatically uploads into
SENtral
RAM
when
powered
up.
Communication is via I
2
C protocol.
With the SENtral M&M modules you can
quickly and easily incorporate industry-
leading motion-tracking and orientation
measurement in your mobile device. We’re
sure you’ll be impressed.
