Data brief
iNEMOENgine_PW8
Description
The iNEMO Engine is a new, advanced software
engine that fuses accelerometer, gyroscope and
magnetometer data to deliver accurate and
reliable motion-sensing information that is easy to
integrate into smart consumer devices.
The iNEMOENgine_PW8 software pack comes
with the iNEMO Engine as a precompiled library
for STM32F103 microcontrollers and the device
firmware upgrade tool.

1.1 Overview
The iNEMO engine is a new, advanced software engine that fuses accelerometer,
gyroscope and magnetometer data to deliver accurate and reliable motion-sensing
information that is easy to integrate into smart consumer devices.

1.2 How the iNEMO engine works
The iNEMO engine fuses data from the integrated 9-axis sensor suite with advanced
algorithms that use true high-number-of-states adaptive Kalman filtering.
The iNEMO engine’s adaptive filters converge so that correct heading data overrides
magnetic distortions and anomalies, resulting in more accurate and reliable data.
iNEMO allows the correction of:
● magnetic distortions registered on the magnetometers
● dynamic distortion measured by the accelerometers
● inherent drift of the gyroscope over time

The iNEMO engine integrates all 9 inertial axes plus compass with complex fusion
algorithms, so the output of the sensor cluster is optimized.
This allows for faster, easier integration into smart consumer devices and higher
performance of the solution as a whole.
The library can be configured to achieve the best trade-off between performance and powersaving to match application requirements.
