Ultra-low-power Wireless Designs white paper offers step-by-step guidance

Our design team was asked to develop a wireless system to demonstrate a triaxial accelerometer (Freescale MMA7260QT). The goal was to replace the serial cable of the original RD3112MMA7260Q (STAR) demo by a wireless connection using the latest Freescale technology to transfer accelerometer values from sensor to PC in real time.

Key features of the wireless demo include:

  • Very small footprint (both hardware and software)
  • Low power
  • Battery powered
  • 20 meter wireless range
  • Printed wire antenna
  • Real-time response
  • Low cost
  • May be used as a reference design
