Module Objectives
►
In this session the participants will learn about the wide range of
Freescale Sensors, how they can be used, how they work, and
what the future holds for sensor integration
►
This session features the latest Freescale Tower System Sensor
Module, which showcases a low cost digital accelerometer, a
digital barometer and the latest 2nd generation touch sensor
►
Hands-on labs will enable participants to interact with these and
other sensors using the expandable capabilities of the Freescale
Tower System and MQX to incorporate sensor data with a web
server
►
Session participants will gain a better understanding of the
Freescale Sensor portfolio, the ongoing evolution of sensors
Freescale is pursuing and will be introduced to basic MQX
projects that will enable them to further explore sensor solutions
with the Freescale Sensor Tower System module

What Are Sensors
►
A sensor is a device that detects either an absolute value
or a change in a physical or electrical quantity, and
converts that change into a useful input signal for a
decision making center

Simple Weather Barometry Using MPL115A
Changes of 3 kPa to 7 kPa drops in pressure signal bad weather (storms/cyclone)
Water vapor in the air drops pressure as humidity makes air LIGHTER.
Analysis
Output
How:
dP > +0.25kPa
Sun Symbol
Dry air (~79% Nitrogen, ~20% Oxygen) is heavier than water vapor (H20)
-0.25kPa >dP >0.25kPa
Sun/Cloud Symbol
Dry air mixed with water vapor is lighter than pure dry air
dP <-0.25kPa
Rain Symbol
High water vapor/high humidity = drops in barometric pressure
Also:
High pressure areas next to low pressure areas will lead to lots of wind
Sudden pressure drops also signal a tornado for example
Clear skies/weather is seen by higher pressure or an increase of ~3 kPa
Issues:
Weather prediction also is dependent on humidity and wind direction
