Freescale Xtrinsic eCompass Software Awarded Product of the Year by Electronic Products Magazine

Did you know that Freescale Xtrinsic eCompass software has been awarded and Electronic Product  "Product of the year" recently ?

Sensor fusion solution garners innovation award for empowering engineers with C source code for magnetic calibration and tilt-compensation

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2013-- Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE: FSL) has been awarded an Electronic Products’Product of the Year award for its Freescale Xtrinsic eCompass software, which fuses data from Freescale Xtrinsic accelerometers andmagnetometers to implement a highly accurate tilt-compensated electronic compass with full hard and soft iron calibration of magnetic disturbance.

Engineers integrating electronic compasses into smartphones and tablets have traditionally been faced with lengthy licensing negotiations with specialist providers of sensor fusion software and do not generally receive source code that can be compiled for their processor of choice. Freescale provides the Xtrinsic eCompass software in ANSI C source code format via a click-through license agreement with the simple restriction that the software be used in conjunction with Freescale sensors, but without restrictions on the processor used.

The editors of Electronic Products, a leading trade publication for electronic design engineers, evaluated thousands of products introduced over the past year. The winning products were selected on the basis of innovative design, significant advancement in technology or application and substantial achievement in price and performance. Freescale’s Xtrinsic eCompass software was honored in the software category for providing source code and a simple licensing process, which significantly empowers engineers wanting to add eCompass and orientation calculation to consumer products.

    I am curious, has the magnetometer been tested for surface and subsurface magnetic variations?

     

    I can see some interesting uses for it in surface measurement applications.

     

    Just a thought,
