Welcome to the official MIP Software Development Kit. This software package provides everything you need to communicate with any MIP-compatible MicroStrain inertial sensor.

Main Features

MIP packet creation
Send commands using a single function
Packet parsing and field iteration
Data field deserialization
Can be used to parse offline binary files
Dual C and C++ API for maximum usability, safety, flexibility, and convenience.
Suitable for bare-metal microcontrollers:
- Minimal code size and memory footprint
- No dynamic memory allocation
- No dependence on any RTOS or threads

Quick Reference [C++]

All C++ functions and classes reside within the mip namespace. The C functions can be accessed via the mip::C namespace. Within this documentation, links to C++ entities are shown in green.

C++ API Overview
mip::Interface Top-level MIP interface class.
mip::PacketView An interface to a MIP packet for either transmission or reception.
mip::PacketBuf Similar to PacketRef but includes the data buffer.
mip::FieldView An interface to a MIP field within a packet.
mip::Parser MIP parser class for converting received bytes into packets.
mip::CmdResult Stores the status or result of a MIP command.

Quick Reference [C]

C does not support the equivalent of C++ namespaces, so all definitions are global. Most names start with mip_ to avoid conflicts. In these documentation pages, objects are referred to by their fully- qualified C++ names for clarity. Within this documentation, links to C entities are shown in red.
