Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-ADRD2121-EBZ Evaluation Board
Analog Devices EVAL-ADRD2121-EBZ Evaluation Board is a compact, high-performance hardware and software platform that enables high-speed asynchronous sampling of iSensor inertial measurement unit (IMU) data. The Analog Devices EVAL-ADRD2121-EBZ is designed to evaluate the ADRD2121 precision IMU interface. This board enables seamless data acquisition from supported IMUs like the ADIS16470 and ADIS16500, offering both USB virtual serial and SPI communication options.
The device supports full-throughput, asynchronous data capture with configurable buffer settings, making it ideal for applications requiring accurate motion sensing and analysis. These include robotics, industrial monitoring, navigation in GPS-denied environments, and academic research. The EVAL-ADRD2121-EBZ board is supported by a Python-based software interface compatible with Windows® and Linux®, allowing users to easily configure settings, visualize data, and integrate the system into custom workflows. Output data is provided through a USB virtual serial port and/or a user SPI port to allow transparent augmentation of an existing IMU interface system.
Features
- Enables full throughput, buffered IMU data capture
- Supports ADIS16470 and ADIS16500 IMUs
- 64-Byte maximum buffer entry size and 512x frames minimum
- Up to 1,000,000bps baud rate
- Small footprint enables evaluation and use of compact IMUs
- Registers accessible through a simple Command Line Interface (CLI)
- Option for external or USB power (5V)
- Python library for interfacing with CLI, allows for easy IMU integration with an end user application in Linux and Windows environments
- Configuration options
