Next generation board provides designers with precision accelerometer, pressure sensor and magnetometer.
Newark element14 announced the launch of its multi MEMS development board for Xtrinsic sensors (Manufacturer Part No: XTRINSIC-SENSORS-EVK), a low cost enablement solution that allows designers to easily understand and test the latest sensing technologies with a next generation accelerometer, pressure sensor and a magnetometer to measure motion, altitude or pressure, detect magnetic fields and determine physical position. This new board costs$26.99.
Designed to work with a range of key applications including mobile phones and tablets, remote controls, game consoles, navigation and medical devices, the new development board for Xtrinsic sensors offers design engineers real flexibility and comes with a Freescale Freedom FRDM-KL25Z platform to help demonstrate the sensor board functionality. The FRDM-KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform enabled by the energy-efficient Kinetis L Series KL1x and KL2x MCUs families built on the ARM Cortex-M0+ processor.
Device drivers and sample codes are also included to cater for the easy evaluation and demonstration of the performance of the sensors to measure motion, altitude, pressure, the detection of magnetic fields and physical position. In addition, each of the development boards comes equipped with a USB cable and quick start guide.
Key features of the multi MEMS development board for Xtrinsic sensors include:
- Xtrinsic MPL3115 high-precision pressure sensor
- Xtrinsic MAG3110 low-power 3D magnetometer
- Xtrinsic MMA8491Q 3-axis digital accelerometer
- FRDM-KL25Z Freescale Freedom Development Platform:
- ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU, up to 48 MHz
- 128 KB Flash, 16 KB SRAM
