Overview
The ZSTAR3 system accommodates multiple digital and analog accelerometer boards, connected through an RF ZigBee® 2.4 GHz communication to a single USB node connected to a PC. The accelerometer boards measure acceleration in three axes using a pin compatible digital or, optionally, an analog sensor. The sensor sensitivity is defined by the selected accelerometer. The USB node is part of the ZSTAR design, equipped with dedicated software supporting multiple nodes.
Target Applications
