NXP XFRDM-STBA-A8961 Sensor Development Kit for Automotive & IoT

Accelerate automotive and industrial IoT development with NXP XFRDM-STBA-A8961, featuring FXLS8961AF accelerometer, i.MX RT MCU, and low-power motion sensing.

The NXP XFRDM-STBA-A8961 Evaluation Kit is a high-performance platform for developing automotive, industrial, and IoT applications with precise motion sensing. At its core is the FXLS8961AF 3-axis accelerometer, delivering accurate detection of orientation, vibration, and motion for real-world applications. Powered by the i.MX RT MCU, this kit enables rapid prototyping and testing of motion-aware solutions with minimal setup.

Designed for flexibility, the kit is compatible with Arduino and most NXP Freedom development boards, including the FRDM-K22F and LPC55S16-EVK. Developers can easily connect via I²C or SPI interfaces and switch between accelerometer modes to optimize performance for specific use cases.

NXP supports development with a robust software ecosystem, including the Sensors Software Component Library for platform-independent integration, the FreeMASTER Sensor Tool for real-time demonstration, and example projects showcasing ultra-low-power motion wakeup and interrupt capabilities.

The XFRDM-STBA-A8961 kit is ideal for engineers designing industrial monitoring systems, automotive safety applications, wearable devices, or IoT endpoints, providing a complete hardware and software platform for fast, reliable development of motion-sensing solutions.
