Abstract: Motion and/or orientation sensing systems can utilize gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, and other sensors for measuring motion or orientation of connected objects. Temperature changes affect the precision of the data output by the motion/orientation sensing device. A system is provided for controllably heating a device within a package to a desired temperature that varies based on the ambient temperature. The operating temperature of the device can then be known and controlled. The ambient temperature can be known through an ambient temperature sensor, for example. Given this information, a controller compensates the data output by the device to further improve the accuracy in the measurements. Like the amount of heating provided to the package, the amount of compensation is also based on the ambient temperature and/or the device temperature.
