Using the XTRINSIC-SENSORS-EVK under Linux or Mac

2014-09-10T21:38:23Z

A few months ago, Element14 sent me an XTRINSIC-SENSORS-EVKXTRINSIC-SENSORS-EVK kit to play with. This is an MBED compatible evaluation board which includes an ARM processor, some new freescale sensors (MMA8491Q Accelerometer, MAG3110 Magnetome...(read more)

MEMS Sensor Evaluation Board and the Freescale Freedom Platform Port to FRDM-KL26Z

2014-03-11T13:21:07Z

Because the MEMS Sensor board has an Arduino compatible footprint, it means it is also hardware compatible with any of the Freescale Freedom boards. There is already code for FRDM-KL25Z that works with this sensor evaluation board, but I wanted to po...(read more)

Enabling support for Xtrinsic Sensor Board in Raspbian
