Access the webinar's deck to learn about Infineon’s DPS310 is a miniaturized digital barometric pressure sensor that offers high accuracy, low current consumption. And learn more about Sense2GoL from our newly uploaded YouTube video.

We're proud to announce our latest partner and worldwide contest from Infineon, a world leader in semiconductor and sensor technology.

This new Infineon contest calls on enterprise and professional developers to join us and build industrial applications using one of two very powerful products. Infineon’s DPS310 is a miniaturized digital barometric pressure sensor that offers high accuracy, low current consumption, and Infineon's BGT24LTR11N16 24GHz Radar with smart motion tracking, direction, proximity, speed detection and more.

BUY DPS310

• Resources and documentation on the DPS310 pressure sensor.

• Resources and documentation on the 24GHz Radar.

Infineon Pressure Sensor Android App

Infineon mobile apps are available for android smartphones and can be downloaded from android store. Mobile apps can be used as an alternative to SES2G software for quick evaluation of sensor performance via Bluetooth™. Mobile apps are compatible with both sensor hub and nanohub.
