User’s Guide
1 Introduction
The Freescale MMA865xFC sensor toolbox
accelerometer kit provides hardware and software for the
demonstration and evaluation of the Xtrinsic
MMA865xFC accelerometers (MMA8652FC,
MMA8653FC). This user’s guide shows you how to use
this kit.
The MMA865xFC kit includes the following:
• MMA865x interface board
• MMA8652FC accelerometer daughter board
• MMA8653FC accelerometer daughter board
The kit requires a USB-interface board to attach the kit
to a personal computer. Both items can be purchased on
the
Freescale website .
• MMA865xFC kit, part number LFSTBEB865x
• MMA865x USB-interface board, part number
LFSTBUSB
• Optional 9V battery board (for non-volatile
memory datalogging), part number LFSTBBAT9
