Nucleo Sensors Demo

This example demonstrates how to use the Nucleo sensors shield with the STM32F401 Nucleo board to obtain real-time sensor data from the onboard sensors:

First, attach the sensor shield to the Nucleo board as shown here: /media/uploads/dangriffin/nucleo_sensor_shield2.jpg

Next, connect the STM32F401 Nucleo board to your PC with a USB cable.

Now return to the Nucleo Sensors Demo project homepage and import the project into your mbed compiler:

/media/uploads/johnbloomfield/401_gswnmsensors.jpg Click “Import” button on the pop up window shown below

/media/uploads/dangriffin/import_step2.png

Compile and load the image onto the F401 Nucleo board

Note

Refer to Getting Started with mbed STM32F401 to learn how to compile and load a program onto the Nucleo board

Open a terminal window to display the status of your connection. For this example, set the terminal BAUD rate to 9600

Note

Refer to Console Output for setting a terminal emulator

You should now see the various sensor readings displayed on your console output.
