This paper describes the method of using one accelerometer interrupt pin for both wakeup and non-motion detection to automatically switch on and off the screen. The microprocessor only needs to ...

The iPhone has an accelerometer like most smart phones. Here is an experiment to determine the location of this sensor.

Hackers could guess your phone PIN using its sensor data Date: December 26, 2017 Source: Nanyang Technological University Summary: Instruments in smart phones such as the accelerometer, gyroscope ...

These tiny boards host an STM32-like MCU, a BLE module, lithium ion power circuitry, and some nice sensor options — an accelerometer, a pair of microphones, and a light sensor.

A Low-Cost Shipment Shock Sensor Using a 6-pin, SOT-23 Microcontroller Oct. 8, 2008 By Joe Julicher, Microchip Technology Inc. Often, goods are damaged in transit due to mechanical shock or vibration.

So here’s some worrying news: Hackers can actually find out your PIN and passwords just by analysing the way you tilt a phone in your hand.

STMicroelectronics is aiming at healthcare wearables with an IC that senses bio-potentials and acceleration, and includes an AI processor and a finite state-machine for pedometer, step detection and ...
