FXOS8700 Accelerometer/Magnetometer Sensor

Overview

This sample application shows how to use the FXOS8700 driver. The driver supports FXOS8700 accelerometer/magnetometer and MMA8451Q, MMA8652FC, MMA8653FC accelerometers.

Building and Running

This project outputs sensor data to the console. FXOS8700 sensor is present on the :ref:`frdm_k64f`, :ref:`frdm_kw41z`, and :ref:`hexiwear_k64` boards. Accelerometer only devices are present on the :ref:`frdm_kl25z`, :ref:`bbc_microbit`, and :ref:`reel_board` boards. It does not work on QEMU.

Building and Running for FRDM-K64F

FRDM-K64F is equipped with FXOS8700CQ accelerometer and magnetometer. Sample can be built and executed for the FRDM-K64F as follows:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/fxos8700
   :board: frdm_k64f
   :goals: build flash
   :compact:

Example building for the FRDM-K64F with motion detection support:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/fxos8700
   :board: frdm_k64f
   :conf: "prj.conf overlay-motion.conf"
   :goals: build flash
