1 Introduction
The Atmel Sensors Xplained series of development boards and software are
designed to be plug compatible with all Atmel Xplain MCU boards, providing a wide
range of microcontroller performance depending on the application needs.
Atmel has partnered with leading suppliers of accelerometer, gyroscope, compass,
pressure, and light sensors to provide a range of sensor boards that enable easy
evaluation and development with a wide range of Atmel controller solutions.
To accelerate development with these sensor-based solutions, Atmel has worked
with its partners to make the necessary sensor drivers available as part of the
Atmel AVR Studio
®
development environment and the AVR Software Framework.
The drivers are available directly from Atmel, and provide basic interface
functionality with both raw data and calibrated engineering units outputs integrated
into a standard API.
The Atmel Inertial Two Sensors Xplained development board delivers a full nine–
degree-of-freedom sensor platform—combining an accelerometer, compass,
gyroscope, and temperature sensing—that is ideal for developing motion sensing
or user interface applications.
