Get Started with IoT Sensing SDK
Get Started with FreeMASTER-Sensor-Too

Getting to know the hardware

The FRDM-STBA-A8967 is a sensor add-on/companion shield board for FXLS8967AF 3- axis low-power motion wake accelerometer.
FRDM-STBA-A8967 sensor shield board is kitted with a FRDM MCU (FRDM-K22F) board to enable quick customer evaluation of FXLS8967AF using sensor toolbox enablement SW and tools.
Refer to section 2.3 of the FRDM-STBA-A8967 Getting Started document to get more details on board components.

Features

Sensor evaluation board for FXLS8967AF, also offered as custom sensor kit with FRDM-K22F.
Enables quick sensor evaluation and helps accelerate quick prototyping and development using NXP sensors
Compatible with Arduino and most NXP Freedom development boards
Supports I2C and SPI communication interface with host MCU
Supports hardware configurability to switch between accelerometer mode (normal vs. motion detect) and I2C/SPI interface mode
Has multiple test points on the board

Board functions

The FRDM-STBA-A8967 is designed to be fully Arduino I/O header compatible and optimized for the operating conditions. The FRDM-STBA-A8967 sensor shield board gets powered up by a FRDM-K22F MCU board by stacking the shield board on top of the MCU board using the Arduino I/O headers. See Figure 1. Plug the cable in the OpenSDA USB port on the board and the USB connector on the PC to power up the board.

The FRDM-STBA-A8967 shield board kitted with FRDM-K22F helps accelerate sensor evaluation by using the FreeMASTER-Sensor-Tool software tools. This combination of hardware and software enables end users to move through each phase of product development quickly and increase ease-of-use.

Featured components

The FRDM-STBA-A8967 sensor toolbox development board features the following components:

FXLS8967AF: 3-axis digital accelerometer designed for use in a wide range of automotive security and convenience applications that require ultra-low-power wakeup on motion.

Schematics

The design files for the FRDM-STBA-A8967 sensor shield board are available at the FRDM-STBA-A8967 boards page in the Design Resources section. A snapshot of the schematic is provided in Figure 2 and Figure 3:
