The X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 integrates five sensors covering distinct measurement domains, bringing them into a single timing domain to simplify multi-sensor alignment and to support applications that require coherent motion, vibration, and environmental data. The solution includes:
- ISM6GH256X intelligent IMU for simultaneous measurement of low-g and high-g acceleration
- ISM330IS six-axis IMU with always-on accelerometer and gyroscope
- IIS2DULPX ultra-low-power accelerometer
- ILPS22QS barometer with 1260hPa and 4060hPa ranges
- IIS2MDC three-axis magnetometer
The platform makes these industrial sensors accessible to developers using an STM32 microcontroller through its Nucleo-compatible interface and the ST software ecosystem. Onboard features such as sensor hub support, finite state machines, and machine learning cores allow initial data processing directly at the sensor, reducing the computation workload on the host processor. The ST MEMS-Studio and X-CUBE-MEMS1 software support configuration, acquisition control, and parameter visualization for simplified development and analysis.
Detachable add-on modules provide additional connectors, and support distributed sensing layouts for either the STEVAL-MKGI07A microcontroller board or the main X-NUCLEO-IND5A1 board.
