SensorStudio Development Tool Used to Ease the
Design and Programming of the InvenSense FireFly Platform
InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE: INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor
platform solutions, announced SensorStudio and the InvenSense
FireFly development kit, a sensor prototyping and development
platform for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The InvenSense
IoT development platform is centralized around the SensorStudio
tool and InvenSense FireFly Development Kit, comprised of
InvenSense’s ICM-30630 MEMS 6-axis sensor (3-axis gyroscope +
3-axis accelerometer) with an integrated sensor framework software
interfacing with an Arduino Zero board. With SensorStudio and the
FireFly development kit, developers are able to select and evaluate
the FireFly embedded features (orientation, activity tracking,
gestures, etc.), enable quick design and validate embedded
features. The InvenSense development platform simplifies,
configures and extends the FireFly SensorHub Framework, bringing a
unique level of simplification and integration to build smart IoT
applications faster.
SensorStudio is a new and powerful graphical development tool
originated by InvenSense to ease the development and programming of
sensors and algorithms. SensorStudio provides the environment for
extending and customizing FireFly capabilities, supplying standard
sensor block functions derived from its sensor framework software.
SensorStudio visually assembles elements in a logical way and
accesses all the necessary visualizations to fully support the
sensor fusion design cycle. SensorStudio allows developers to
program and add sensors to the Sensor Framework via a documented
set of APIs to control I2C, GPIO, tasks and timers, while masking
the complexity of real-time OS. Using simple GUI sensors blocks,
SensorStudio can be arranged in elegant flow charts for developers
to run and validate their programs, facilitating the rapid
prototyping and application development for IoT applications.
The hardware element of the development kit is based on the
single-chip InvenSense ICM-30630, the world’s first tri-core 6-axis
motion tracking solution with integrated framework software serving
as a sensor hub that supports the collection and processing of data
from internal and external sensors. The integrated InvenSense
Sensor Framework provides an open and powerful platform for
creating cutting-edge always-on applications, allowing customers to
leverage InvenSense sensors and algorithms in order to build their
own products.
InvenSense’s new FireFly development kit is compatible with
Arduino hardware and GCC-based development tools. The development
kit includes a fully self-contained sensor software solution with
additional memory space available on chip, allowing customers to
program with their own logic, creating a platform that is easily
scalable and deployable.
“As the Internet of Things ecosystem continues to grow,
companies increasingly will look to platforms and services that
help them manage and analyze the streams of data coming from
connected cars, thermostats and smartwatches. Sensors will play a
pivotal role in this growth as they are responsible for gathering
and outputting valuable data,” said Eitan Medina, vice president
marketing and product management, InvenSense. “With SensorStudio
and the FireFly development kit creating an easy-to-use scalable
sensor development platform, InvenSense is providing its customers
the tools they need to develop and productize their own IoT
platforms by leveraging sensor fusion and our SensorHub
framework.”
The SensorStudio and the FireFly Development Kit are being
demonstrated this week at the InvenSense Developers Conference, and
are available for purchase and download on InvenSense’s Developers
Corner website. For additional information on InvenSense
