Bosch Sensortec Application Board 2.0 - Buy or not

[Nikosant03]

Hi guys, 

I was looking the Application board 2.0 and I am thing whether or not it's worth buying it... I mean, ok I have a shuttle board and using the Application board in conjunction with the  Development Desktop 2.0  it is convenient to read, display and capture data on the PC and playing around with the configuration parameters.. but, what after that? How this could be helpful for my final design when I will transfer the IC (e.g. bmx160) to my board and I will have to write the source code from scratch? Development Desktop 2.0 provides any kind of source code with the configuration parameters?

I am trying to figure out how Application board 2.0  would be helpful for designers and I would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks in advance

Nick

APP2.0 board is an generic evaluate platform for all BST sensor shuttles. 

You can use to get familiar with the sensor output also measure some signal.  it can be used to help you diagnose the issue met on your own platform.

Consider using COINES with Application Board 2.0
