STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 Evaluation Kit
STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 Evaluation Kit is an industrial motion MEMS and environmental sensor evaluation board kit. The kit comprises the X-NUCLEO-IND5A1 main board that hosts the motion MEMS and environmental sensors, and the STEVAL-MKGIO7A detachable add-on board, which hosts two industrial connectors. This STMicroelectronics expansion board kit allows application development with features like FSM, MLC, ISPU, and a sensor hub (with ISM330IS and ISM6HG256X onboard). External sensors can also be used, connected through DIL24 adapter boards, a flat ribbon cable, or a flex PCB connection. The board is supported by the ST Edge AI Suite with tools, including MEMS-Studio and HSDatalog.
