DK-20648 6-Axis Motion Sensor Development Kit for the ICM-20648


Image of InvenSense's DK-20648 6-Axis Motion Sensor Development KitThe DK-20648 from InvenSense is a comprehensive development platform for the ICM-20648, a high-performance 6-axis motion sensor that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, and a Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP™).

The platform, designed around Microchip's G55 MCU, can be used by developers for rapid evaluation and development of ICM-20648-based solutions. The DK-20648 includes an on-board Embedded Debugger, so external tools are not required to program or debug the G55 MCU.

The development kit comes with necessary software, including InvenSense motion link, a GUI-based development tool, and embedded motion drivers for the ICM-20648.

Embedded motion drivers (eMD) consists of a set of APIs to configure various aspects of the platform, including ICM-20648 sensor parameters such as full-scale range (FSR), output data rate (ODR), low-power or low-noise mode, and sensor interface to host (I2C, SPI).

MotionLink is a GUI-based development tool included with the platform. It can be used to capture and visualize the sensor data from the motion sensor.
