The Development Kit provides a common interface to Kionix evaluation boards. The included software provides an easy -to-use interface for displaying and recording acceleration data. Plus, a graphical register map allows the user to see and change the contents of control registers. The Silicon Labs development board allows the use of a standard 8051 microcontroller core and a USB interface for PC development/evaluation environments. Additionally, the F340 Adapter Board provides a visual indication (through an LED array) of interrupts (motion and tap) and screen rotation output states for Kionix products that include those functionalities.

This data can be saved to file or viewed in real time. With only two verification steps, the application will begin immediately to display a series of graphs representing acceleration with respect to time. SensorCalc This application allows the user to test and calculate the 0g offset and sensitivity parameters of the accelerometer. Once the accelerometer is properly placed relative to the Earth’s gravity, simple mouse clicks initiate a series of test sequences that result in the display of raw-count data. SensorMap This application allows the user to read and write to specific registers on the sensor. The registers, and their values, are all displayed simultaneously on one color-coded grid. Embedded Functions Kionix is continually developing accelerometer products with embedded features. These features include the ability of the accelerometer to indicate screen rotation state, whether or not a tap or double-tap event has occurred, and the ability to indicate activity or inactivity. This development kit can give visual indications of the tap/double-tap interrupt, motion interrupt, and screen rotation state through a series of LED’s that are connected to several ports of the Silicon Labs C8051F340DK.
