The board communicates through I2C, and is equipped with headers with an Arduino shield and Freescale Freedom footprint, as well as a dedicated connector that allows connection to the Raspberry Pi. It comes complete with device drivers and sample code to easily evaluate and demonstrate the performance of the sensors.
“This board will enable even more innovative designs and projects that can react to changes in the real-world.” said David Shen, CTO at element14. “This board has been designed for use with multiple embedded platforms and ideal for both engineers and hobbists alike.This collaboration is part of our ongoing relationship with Freescale and ensures we remain market leaders in the development board space.”
The MEMS Sensor Evaluation Board features: Freescale Freedom KL25Z compatible connector, drivers and software; Raspberry Pi compatible connector, drivers and software; Arduino compatible footprint; MPL3115 – High-Precision Pressure Sensor [50 to 110kPa, 2.5v]; MAG3110 – Low-power 3D Magnetometer; MMA8491Q – 3-Axis, Digital Accelerometer; and Quick Start Guide
