Inertial and magnetic sensors are becoming quite pervasive. When driving our cars or as simple pedestrians, most of us would have a hard time finding our way around without the navigation applications they support. Our smartphones rely on electronic compasses (eCompasses) built on inertial and magnetic sensor technology to determine direction, and with the help of GPS and maps, guide us blindly through the urban maze.

The IoT roadshow took us to northern California, better known as Silicon Valley. The IoT expert: Asit Goel, who is the vice president and general manager of NXP’s IoT group. 

It seems that almost everyone has a maker-level evaluation platform these days, but many embedded vendors appear only half-heartedly invested in the space.

Embedded Computing Design's Rich Nass meets with Steve Wainwright of NXP at Embedded World, Hall 4A, Booth 220.
