Freescale Xtrinsic MAG3110 Magnetic Sensor demo [video]

GregC

Freescale's first three-axis magnetometer, the Xtrinsic MAG3110 is a low-power, small-profile sensor that delivers enhanced digital electronic compass (eCompass) functionality for location-based services (LBS) such as navigation, dead-reckoning and location-tracking in smart mobile devices.

  • Neat device, but the video does not keep my interest.

    I am assuming that you want to sell this device for mobile devices and the robotic community.

    I would have mounted the chip on a RC helicopter and demonstrated how it could track the flight profile over a short flight with a screen to show position, velocity and acceleration in all three directions with the heading following a map.

     

    Just a thought.

  • Thanks for the video.

    Where can I download the demo (on the PC screen) that the lady uses to show the output of the board ?

    The board that I have (KL25Z with Xtrinsic sensor) only comes with a demo program that shows an output to the PC via a comms program such as Tera Term.

    My output does not show full scale accuracy either.

    Below is an example of the output on my terminal program.
