Introduction
This paper describes the next generation of a Wireless Sensing Triple Axis Reference Design (ZSTAR).
This demo represents a wireless demonstration of the 3-axes accelerometer sensors, the MMA7455L
(RD3172MMA7455L), the MMA7361L (RD3172MMA7361L) and the MMA7660FC
(RD3172MMA7660FC) from Freescale. ZSTAR3 is the successor to the previous Freescale demo ZSTAR
and is fully compatible with it. The Demo is built on a new generation of Freescale parts and brings some
new extended functionalities.
The reference design will enable you to see how Freescale's accelerometers can add additional
functionality to applications in various industries. The accelerometer measurements can be grouped into
6 sensing functions - Fall, Tilt, Motion, Positioning, Shock and Vibration - for multifunctional
applications.
The RD3172MMA7455L / RD3172MMA7361L / RD3172MMA7660FC development tool offers robust
wireless communication using the powerful, easy-to-use 2.4 GHz frequency transceiver and
microcontroller in the one package MC13213. Without any changes on board, it can be made with pin to
pin compatibility allowing implementation of the MC13214 for ZigBee® wireless applications.
Only the sensor board was updated completely, as the receiver used is still the USB stick from the previous
generation of ZSTAR, but new software was developed that supports all the new functionalities.
