BMX160 from Bosch Sensortec, a New Smallest 9-axis Motion Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bmx160-bosch-sensortec-new-smallest-9-axis-motion-sensor/
Bosch Sensortec announced a new 9-axis motion sensor, the BMX160, on June 21, 2016. BMX160 targets smartphones, smartwatches and other wearables applications. It has a low power consumption (580 μA), which is proper for long working time on battery for this type of applications, also BMX160 is fully Android Marshmallow compliant. BMX160 integrates 3-axis accelerometer, […]
Tiny motion sensor fits wearable devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tiny-motion-sensor-fits-wearable-devices/
by Susan Nordyk @ edn.com: Bosch Sensortec’s BMX160 is a 9-axis motion sensor touted as the smallest in the industry for wearable and augmented/virtual-reality devices. The miniature device is housed in a 2.5×3.0×0.95-mm, 14-pin LGA package, small enough for smartphones, smart watches, fitness trackers, and even smart eyewear and jewelry. Combining an accelerometer, gyroscope, and geomagnetic […]
LSM6DSL – 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope
https://www.electronics-lab.com/lsm6dsl-3d-accelerometer-and-3d-gyroscope/
Two low-power 6-axis inertial modules introduced from STMicroelectronics, the LSM6DSL and LSM6DSM. Both they pack a 3-D digital accelerometer and a 3-D digital gyroscope in a miniature package. These modules consume 0.4 mA in combo normal mode and 0.65 mA in combo high-performance mode, cutting power consumption by as much as 50% over their current predecessors. The LSM6DSL […]
Datalogging Accelerometer Data To An SDCard

MindForge @ 43oh.com build a datalogger board which logs accelerometer values on a SD Card. The datalogger is built around an MSP430G2755 microcontroller and ADXL335 accelerometer sensor from Analog Devices. his project started as an EMG datalogger to study my dad’s Parkinson’s disease, but after some testing I determined wearing electrodes wasn’t practical for the long term […]

Arduino Watch With Altitude, Temperature, Compass And Pedometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-watch-with-altitude-temperature-compass-and-pedometer/
by benhur.goncalves @ instructables.com: Hi folks! Last few days I’ve been obsessed with the idea to make my own watch from arduino parts, but something cool I could use and say I did it myself. So I found out there was a sensor board (commonly named GY-87) which had three sensors on it: HMC5883L (compass), BMP085 […]
