Overview
Freescale offers the Sensor Toolbox, a collection
of evaluation boards and software that support
Xtrinsic sensing solutions. These tools include
accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes,
touch and pressure sensors that enrich system
design with a broad range of capabilities in
detecting real-world conditions, such as motion,
touch or pressure. The breath of our sensor
and microcontroller portfolio allows software
to be leveraged based on the sensing and
processing needs of end products. Access this
one-stop shop for any of your sensing needs.
Toolbox also includes complimentary sensor
algorithms to help developers get the most
from the Freescale sensor functions such as
orientation, shake, tap, free fall, motion, tilt,
positioning, shock or vibration with inertial
sensors, PSI conversion for gauge pressure
and altimetry for absolute pressure with
pressure sensors, water level monitoring, switch
replacement and touchpad implementations
with touch sensors. In addition, the gyroscope
and magnetic sensors can work in conjunction
with Freescale’s accelerometers for accurate
motion and compass heading information.
Unified Architecture
The Sensor Toolbox contains an array of
tools that provide hardware, software and
accessories in friendly platforms. All sensor
evaluation kits are USB-enabled plug-and-play
devices. Complimentary software algorithms
as well as demo, evaluation and tutorial
modes through the GUI interface are available
at
freescale.com/sensortoolbox.
Key Features
• Multiple sensor toolsets
• Complimentary software
• Demo, evaluation and tutorial modes
included
• Newer tools will continue to be introduced
and added to the Sensor Toolbox
Benefits
• Demonstrates each sensor type
(acceleration, pressure, touch)
on a common platform
• Customizable plug-and-play
• Single software install reduces complexity
and improves reliability
• Consistent sensor platform
• Demonstrates end application capabilities
Enablement
The Sensor Toolbox was developed to help
customers achieve quick time to market
with Freescale’s sensor products. It provides
development ease with software, hardware,
documentation and accessories for Freescale
accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes,
pressure and touch sensors. The Sensor
