Called a development ecosystem with sensor fusion technology, Texas Instruments’ Sensor Hub BoosterPack is a plug-in daughter card for its ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller (MCU). TivaWare software shipped with board enables measurement of pressure, humidity, ambient and infrared (IR) light along with temperature and motion (including acceleration, orientation and compass). Sensors on the board include:
• InvenSense MPU-9150: 9-axis MEMS motion tracking
– 3-axis gyro
– 3-axis accelerometer
– 3-axis compass
• Bosch Sensortec BMP180 pressure sensor
• Sensirion SHT21 humidity and ambient temperature sensor
• Intersil ISL29023 ambient and infrared light sensor
• TI’s TMP006 non-contact infrared temperature sensor
