  1. Setup

This is a simple "hello world" style program for the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 MEMS Inertial & Environmental Sensor Nucleo Expansion Board. This firmware package includes Components Device Drivers, Board Support Package and example applications for X-NUCLEO-IKS01A.

The outputs information retrieved from the Expansion Board over UART. You can launch a terminal application (e.g.: PuTTY on Windows, Minicom on Linux) and set the UART port to 9600 bps, 8 bit, No Parity, 1 stop bit.

The expansion board is basically featuring four IPs:

  • a HTS221 Relative Humidity and Temperature Sensor,
  • a LIS3MDL 3-Axis Magnetometer,
  • a LPS25H MEMS Pressure Sensor, and
  • a LSM6DS0 3D Accelerometer and 3D Gyroscope

Setup

First, attach the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 to the STM32 Nucleo platform as shown here:

Here are the steps.

  1. Import Program2_SensorReader to your online compiler.
  2. Press Compile. A file downloads (Sensors_Reader_NUCLEO_F429ZI.bin).
  3. Drag the file to the 'NODE_F429ZI' disk. The LED on the board will flash.
  4. After flashing, hit the 'Reset' button to start the program.
  5. Now you should see the sensor values from the sensor on the terminal window!
