TDK SmartBug™ uses high precision tri-axis magnetic sensor
2020/07/19
Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) is proud to announce that TDK InvenSense uses our high precision tri-axis magnetic sensor AK09940 in its “SmartBug™”.
TDK SmartBug™ (MD-42688-P) is a multi-sensor wireless module that leverages TDK’s MEMS sensors and algorithms for a wide range of IoT applications. This module combines six sensors, a powerful wireless (BLE) MCU, seven algorithm driven features and a rechargeable battery, in a small enclosure. It also comes with the option of an Add-On board that includes a WiFi module, an SD card slot and an ultrasonic sensor from TDK.
