Teardown: The Garmin Forerunner 220 sport watch and heart monitor

March 9, 2017 By Lee Teschler

Chest-mounted electronics do a more accurate job of counting heart beats than do optical sensors on the wrist. That’s one of the conclusions to come out of a close look at this sport watch aimed at runners. Leland Teschler Executive Editor A sport watch from Garmin called the Forerunner 220 is basically a runner’s watch […]

MEMS sensors extend battery life of devices hosting always-on activity-tracking apps

January 4, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas

STMicroelectronics has introduced three new sensors, the LIS2DS12 3-axis “pico” accelerometer, LSM6DSL/M 6-axis inertial module, and the new LSM303AH eCompass help track movement continuously with minimal impact on device battery life by performing various motion-related calculations efficiently on-chip instead of using the main system processor. Pre-embedded algorithms that include high-precision pedometer, step detection, step counting, […]
