3 Hardware 

The CMA3000 DEMO KIT USB interface board (black PWB) and CMA3000 PWB (green PWB) are 
shown in Figure 1. The USB interface card converts the USB interface to SPI or I

C interface. 

CMA3000 sensor is soldered on PWB which is connected to interface board.

4 GUI 

software 

CMA3000 DEMO KIT is controlled via USB serial port by GUI software.  
 
The GUI software has four different display modes. The CMA3000 sensor can be set to: 

normal measurement mode,  

normal measurement mode with free fall detection enabled and 

motion detection mode.  

 

The interrupt detected due free fall or motion is indicated by led indicator and sound (if PC sounds 
are enabled). Once interrupt is detected, the interrupt has to be cleared by user by pressing the red 
led. The led appears on display only when the interrupt is detected.  
 
The four different GUI displays and start up screens are presented below.
