  while (!Serial);    // wait for the serial port to open

  // initialize device
  Serial.println("Initializing IMU device...");

tinyTILE-Step-Counter

A short and sweet version of the StepCount example found under Arduino/Genuino 101's example for CurieIMU, created for presentation purposes of displaying BMI160 accelerometer capabilities present in tinyTILE.
