Supported commands

The microcontroller mounted on the eMotion board is equipped with dedicated firmware that supports a set of
commands which allow to control either the digital or the analog output MEMS sensor and permits the acquisition
of the measured data. The firmware also handles the communication between the board and the PC through the
USB bus. These features allow the user to easily write their own applications to exploit the capabilities of the
sensor chosen.
This section describes the commands that are supported by the firmware for the microcontroller of the eMotion
demonstration kit.
