Introduction
The Wireless Smart Cart is a combination wireless
USB device that connects to a computer or tablet
through Bluetooth® (version 4.2 or later), or to a
computer or USB charger with a micro USB cable
(included). The Smart Cart has a durable ABS body, a
three-position plunger, and nearly frictionless wheels. It
includes built-in sensors that measure force, position,
velocity, and three degrees of freedom in acceleration.
The Smart Cart also includes a gyroscope-type sensing
element that can measure rotational motion. The Smart
Cart can make its measurements on or off a dynamics
track and transmit them wirelessly. For easy identifica-
tion, the Smart Cart is available in red or blue.
