Freescale - Nine-axis sensor platform shield features latest sensing technologies (FRDM-STBC-AGM01)

The new easy-to-use FRDM-STBC-AGM01 integrates three of the latest sensing technologies on a single board. The company says that these technologies, which are usually found in high-end consumer devices, are now available through a low-cost shield that allows users to determine motion, position and location, and angle of rotation. This 9-axis sensor expansion board is used for the FXAS21002C gyroscope and FXOS8700CQ integrated electronic compass, is compatible with most Freescale Freedom boards, and is supported by the Freescale Sensor Fusion Toolbox. FRDM-STBC-AGM01 is ideal for a variety of applications requiring motion, orientation, and positioning, including industrial and consumer robots, drones, and RC vehicles; game controllers; gyro-stabilized electronic compass; gesture-based user interface and human-machine interface; mobile phones And tablets; the company said, as well as virtual and augmented reality devices (including glasses).
