The STEVAL-MKI248KA kit from STMicroelectronics consists of a generic DIL24 adapter board, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5, a flat cable, and a square PCB on which is mounted the ISM6HG256X six-axis IMU.

The sensor is soldered precisely in the center of the square PCB, making it easy to mount the board on prototype equipment.

STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 board can be plugged into a standard DIL-24 socket. The kit supports the complete ISM6HG256X pin-out, and comes ready to use with the required decoupling capacitors on the power-supply line.

The kit is complemented by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform, which includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller: this functions as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which engineers can use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for custom applications.

The SATEL-VL53L8 package for the VL53L8 family of time-of-flight (ToF) sensors from STMicroelectronics includes two breakout boards which can easily be integrated into a customer’s devices.

The PCB section which includes the VL53L8 ToF sensor module is perforated. The developer can break off the mini-PCB and use it in an application with a 3.3V supply via flying wires. It is easy to integrate the SATEL-VL53L8 breakout boards into devices under development thanks to their small size.

The breakout boards support two products in the VL53L8 family, the VL53L8CX and VL53L8CH 8×8 multi-zone ToF ranging sensors. They are compatible with the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 ToF expansion board.
