TIDM-ORIENTATIONTRACKER, Low Power Orientation Tracker Reference Design

TIDM-ORIENTATIONTRACKER, Low Power Orientation Tracker Reference Design demonstrates how to combine a Value Line MSP430 device, fixed-point software math libraries and an accelerometer for a low cost, ultra-low-power, simple orientation tracking solution. The MSP430 samples the accelerometer and performs calculations in real time to determine its orientation and to detect when it is in free fall. By utilizing the IQmathLib optimized fixed point software library and excluding a gyroscope, this design can run on battery power for extended periods of time
