If you want to have a deeper insight into all news items, customer cases and blog posts related to Xsens products, you will find them in our explore page. By using the filter you can specify your search. The MT Manager is primarily designed to be used with Xsens converters, for example this is why the 'Scan All Ports' only is configured to search out and use Xsens converter devices. When using other hardware, even if you manually select the COM port and use 'Scan Single Port', it does not work with all virtual COM port drivers.

Gearbox Garmin GPS driver. Rt3xxx Driver for the RT3XXX. Statgrab Player driver for the health of a robot. Nimu nIMU Inertial Measurement Unit driver razorimu Sparkfun Razor IMU driver. Xsensmt XSens MTx/MTi Inertial Measurement Unit driver. Linuxjoystick Linux joystick. Bumper2Laser A driver to convert bumper readings to fake laser readings.
Note: These drivers are developed and maintained by Xsens. Other ROS drivers for the MTi are available, but not developed or supported by Xsens. Go (also often named Golang) is a programming language similar to C, originally developed by Google. A third party Go client for Xsens MTi devices was released in 2021 and is available on Github.
XSENS MTi-3 Click is based on the MTi-3, a self-contained Attitude Heading and Reference System (AHRS), Vertical Reference Unit (VRU), and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) module from Xsens. The MTi-3 module supports all features of the MTi-1 series, features a 3D accelerometer, a 3D gyroscope, a high-accuracy crystal, a low-power MCU, and it.

The following tables list the hardware and software systems that are supported by Player.

These tables should generally be up to date with respect to the current code in CVS, and thus may be newer than the latest official release. Also check the Drivers list.
