Description
Nano sensor fusion, ready to solder
The Nano Carrier Board puts the 3-Space™ Nano IC on a small castellated module, so your board gets onboard orientation processing without placing a 24-pin DFN package. The Nano’s triaxial gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer feed our QGRAD2™ sensor fusion filter, which outputs filtered orientation at up to 200Hz in quaternion, Euler angle, rotation matrix, axis angle, or two-vector format.
Onboard magnetometer auto-calibration adapts to changing magnetic environments, and tunable filtering, oversampling, and orientation error correction let you balance responsiveness against stability. Every function is accessible through our open protocol, in ASCII or binary, with an open source API and field-upgradeable firmware.
Need more performance?
The 3-Space™ LX3 is our recommended miniature module for new designs: up to 2000Hz fused orientation with QGRAD3™ or Extended Kalman Filtering, ±1° dynamic accuracy, gyro range to ±4000 °/sec, and an integrated World Magnetic Model. For high-g capture and GPS-denied tracking, see the 3-Space™ Embedded v3.1.

If it moves, we can track it
From GPS-denied navigation to pediatric medical devices to the largest naval vessels, our engineers have solved motion tracking problems no datasheet anticipated. We conduct application-specific R&D for your domain, building on our proven COTS platform or engineering one that doesn’t exist yet. Bring us the requirement everyone else said was too hard.
- Recommended for use with the Nano Evaluation Kit
