The DK-42686-P development kit from TDK InvenSense is now being shipped by authorised distributor Mouser Electronics.
This kit is a demonstration and development platform for the TDK ICM-42686-P inertial measurement unit (IMU).
It features an onboard embedded debugger, eliminating the need for external tools to program or debug the Microchip SAMG55 MCU, and is part of the SmartMotion Platform Ver. G comprehensive development system.
The SmartMotion platform includes the necessary software, comprising InvenSense MotionLink, a GUI-based development tool, and embedded Motion Drivers (eMD) for InvenSense motion sensors.
The ICM-42686-P IMU is a 6-axis MEMS motion tracking sensor that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer. It has a configurable host interface that supports I3CSM, I2C, and SPI serial communication, features a 2kB FIFO, and two programmable interrupts with ultra-low-power wake-on-motion support to minimise system power consumption.
The sensor features an extended full-scale range (FSR) of ±4000dps for the gyroscope and ±32g for the accelerometer, supporting precise motion analysis.
The TDK InvenSense DK-42686-P development kit is ideal for applications such as wearables, game controllers, sports swing analysers, intelligent sports equipment, robotics, and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR).
