Hardware and System Requirements for STMicroelectronics’ X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 Expansion Board

STMicroelectronics Expansion Board X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1: A motion MEMS and environmental sensor evaluation board kit.

Introduction to X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1

This expansion board supports testing the functions of motion MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, as well as environmental humidity, temperature, and pressure sensors via the I²C bus. It also enables comprehensive testing of all functions of the LSM6DSO16IS and LSM6DSV16X, Qvar touch/slide gestures, and connection to the STHS34PF80 infrared sensor for presence detection.

Hardware Requirements

  • The X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 expansion board must be used with an STM32 Nucleo development board.
  • Connection method: Insert the X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 into the corresponding pins of any STM32 Nucleo development board via the Arduino UNO R3 interface.
  • Note: Components on the X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), and the onboard male/female through-hole connectors are fragile. Avoid bending or damaging the pins during handling.

System Requirements

  • Operating System: Windows® (7/8/10) computer
  • Cable: USB Type A to Mini-B cable (for connecting the STM32 Nucleo to the computer)
  • Firmware and Software Package: Onboard firmware and the X-CUBE-MEMS1 software package (must be pre-installed on the computer)
