Overview

The BMA530 Shuttle Board 3.0 is a daughterboard designed for evaluating the BMA530 accelerometer in rapid prototyping environments. It features a pre-mounted sensor on a compact 22mm x 17.78mm PCB with a standardized 1.27mm pitch header. The board provides direct access to all sensor pins and supports communication via SPI, I2C, and I3C protocols.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a 9-pin configuration with 7 GPIO pins, allowing for full utilization of the BMA530's interrupt features. Its support for I3C makes it ideal for modern high-speed sensor bus architectures while remaining backwards compatible with standard I2C and SPI systems.

Applications

Wearable Device Prototyping
Rapidly test motion tracking and gesture recognition algorithms in ultra-low power wearable designs.
Industrial IoT Nodes
Evaluate vibration monitoring and tilt sensing in industrial environments using the robust I3C interface.
Platform Evaluation
Characterize the BMA530 performance across its 1.71V to 3.60V supply range before committing to a custom PCB layout.

Getting Started

Connect the shuttle board to the Bosch Sensortec Application Board 3.0 for a complete USB-to-PC interface. Use the COINES software environment to configure sensor registers and stream accelerometer data. For custom MCU integration, ensure the host controller logic levels match the 1.71V to 3.60V VDD range.
