FP-SNS-MOTENV1 Firmware Package

The FP-SNS-MOTENV1 is an STM32Cube function pack which lets you connect your IoT node to a smartphone via BLE and use a suitable AndroidT or iOST like the ST BLE Sensor app to view real-time environmental sensor data and motion sensor data. The package also enables advanced functionality such as sensor data fusion and accelerometer-based real-time activity recognition, carry position, gesture recognition, pedometer, motion Intensity and campass. This package, together with the suggested combination of STM32 and ST devices can be used to develop specific wearable applications, or smart things applications in general.

The software runs on the STM32 microcontroller and includes all the necessary drivers to recognize the devices on the STM32 Nucleo development board and expansion boards.

The expansion is built on STM32Cube software technology to ease portability across different STM32 microcontrollers.

FP-SNS-MOTENV1 software features:

• Complete firmware to develop an IoT node with BLE connectivity, environmental and motion sensors

• For Nucleo-U575ZI-Q, Nucleo-F401RE and Nucleo-L476RG, middleware libraries for sensor data fusion and acelerometer-based real-time activity recognition, carry position, gesture recognition, motion intensity recognition and pedometer.

• Firmware compatible with ST BLE Sensor applications for Android/iOS, to perform sensor data reading, motion algorithm features demo and firmware update (FOTA - For Nucleo-U575ZI-Q, Nucleo-F401RE and Nucleo-L476RG) (Version 5.0.0/5.0.0 or higher)

• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to STM32Cube

• Free, user-friendly license terms
