By Michael Stanley – No, the title does not refer to the forces of good versus those of evil. Nor am I referring to my stance when chopping firewood with an axe. Instead, let’s see if we can straighten out some of the terminology that you’ll hear when people start to talk about sensors. Even [...]

By Michael Stanley — Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Freescale maintained a booth in the MEMS Tech Zone sponsored by the MEMS Industry Group (MIG), and I was on hand for much of the show. When I wasn’t actually manning the Freescale booth, I was [...]

By Michael Stanley — A big part of my job involves keeping up to date with new sensor technologies and sensor fusion algorithms and techniques. For confidentiality reasons, I can’t often talk about the things I see from third-party suppliers and customers. But an amazing amount of stuff is routinely published in public forums. One [...]

By Michael Stanley — In “Sensor fusion with the MMA8451 accelerometer and MAG3110 magnetometer”we explored the RD4247MAG3110 Sensor Toolbox hardware kit. That kit, pictured below is typical of the Freescale Sensor Toolbox in that it is composed of a 3 board stackup (communications board, adapter board and sensor-specific board).
By Michael Stanley — When a colleague of mine recently asked me “What is sensor fusion?” I had to stop and think. Like Justice Potter Stewart once said, “I know it when I see it.” But as an engineer dealing with this topic every day, I should be able to do better. Eventually I came [...]
By Mike Stanley — When I first joined Freescale’s Sensors team, I did what I usually do when I start working in an area of technology that’s new to me: ask lots of questions, do lots of reading and tinker with the technology. I got a lot of use out of my DEMOQE128 development board, [...]
By Mike Stanley — I recently discovered a nice side effect to my blogging activities at Freescale: people give me free stuff. The most recent addition to my pile of toys is the RD4247MAG3110 Sensor Toolbox shown at the right. This kit, designed to showcase the Freescale MAG3110 magnetic sensor, is composed of a 3 [...]
