STMicroelectronics

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.

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.

The STEVAL-MKI251A is an adapter board designed to facilitate the evaluation of the LSM6DSV320X 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU).

The board offers an effective solution for fast system prototyping and device evaluation directly within the user’s own application.

The STEVAL-MKI251A can be plugged into a standard DIL 24 socket. The adapter provides the complete LSM6DSV320X pinout and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line.

This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform. This includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

The adapter board can be also plugged in other boards such as STEVAL-MKBOXPRO and X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1.

The STEVAL-MKIT04KA comprises four different adapters for DIL24 sockets: the STEVAL-MKI224V1, the STEVAL-MKI227A in the STEVAL-MKI227KA adapter kit, the STEVAL-MKI235A in the STEVAL-MKI235KA adapter kit, and the STEVAL-MKE003A in the STEVAL-MKI227KA and STEVAL-MKI235KA adapter kit.

All of the surface-mount devices are soldered on the boards. Male and female connectors must be manually soldered.

The STEVAL-MKE003A can be plugged over the STEVAL-MKI227A or the STEVAL-MKI235A board.

If the application using LSM6DSV16X is fixed, it is possible to solder a 0 ohm resistor instead of shunt in the JQ connector.

These adapters are individually supported by the STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard, which includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC. On the STEVAL-MKI109V3 it is possible to use the downloadable graphical user interface of Unico-GUI or MEMS-Studio, or to use dedicated software routines for customized applications. It is also possible to plug the single board into X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3.
