Epson Evaluation Board M-G32EV031 for IMUs

Epson Evaluation Board M-G32EV031 for IMUs

Evaluation boardUART · SPIPDG IMUs

A small adapter board that brings the signals of an Epson PDG IMU to pin headers, so you can wire the sensor straight into your own microcontroller or FPGA board.

Epson lists it as the board for building the IMU into a customer system. You choose UART or SPI through the wiring, supply 3.3 V and start developing your driver on the real hardware.

Applications

Where the M-G32EV031 fits best

Embedded driver development

Bring up UART or SPI on your MCU, FPGA or single-board computer.

Prototypes of robots and drones

Mount the IMU in an early prototype before your own PCB exists.

Gimbal and antenna control

Test the control loop with the real sensor and output rate.

Test benches

Integrate the sensor into measurement and validation setups.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

M-G32EV031 or M-G32EV041?

Take the M-G32EV031 when the IMU goes into your own electronics. Take the M-G32EV041 when you want to look at data on a Windows PC over USB first, without writing code.

Which pins and voltages apply?

The board runs at 3.3 V like the PDG IMUs. Pin assignment and electrical limits are in the Epson board and IMU data sheets, which we send on request.

Which software do I need?

Epson provides the Epson Sensing System Software free of charge after registration. It shows the sensor data as graphs and logs it to a file. For your own code, the open-source drivers for Linux, ROS/ROS 2, Python, MATLAB and Arduino are listed in our downloads.

Is the sensor included?

No. The evaluation boards connect a sensor you already have or order separately. We are happy to put together a matching set of board and sensor.

Can I borrow a kit instead of buying it?

Yes. For qualified projects we lend evaluation kits free of charge, so you can test in your own system before you decide.
