Starting off with the TI Sensortag


The Sensortag will be used for gaining experience in a convient manner. It is light, cheap, and easy to collect data from using an mobile application (shown above).

Characterizing the Sensortag

coordinates of sensors and Sensortag IMU

The coordinates of each sensor must be determined (shown above), as well as their orientation on the PCB (shown below).

Data Collection

Collection of data is very easy with the use of the TI sensortag app and a smart phone. Data is collected wirelessly to the phone and can then be emailed to any address for processing use.
