Bosch Sensortec COINES
COmmunication with INertial and Environmental Sensors
COINES allows users to evaluate sensors using the Bosch Sensortec Application Board. Sensor configuration and data readout can be easily done using the coinesAPI
from PC side using C (or) Python.
To overcome the limitations (Eg: inaccurate delays,etc.,) due to latencies in USB communication, some C examples can also be cross-compiled and run directly on the Application Board's microcontroller.
