This Application Note describes a method to wake up an embedded module by motion detection through the use of a 3 axis accelerometer.
Generally, when an AirPrime embedded module is not needed in working mode, the best way to save energy is to enter into ALARM mode. It can then be woken up by programming an RTC interrupt. However, in specific applications, it can be useful to wake up the AirPrime module when a movement is detected. This application note shows a method to implement this mechanism.
