STMicroelectronics Makes IoT Sensing
Accessible with IoT Plug and Play, Ready to Connect to Microsoft
Azure
- Multiple user modes make SensorTile.box adaptable and
flexible
- Suitable for prototyping or as a module in commercial
products
- Certified for out-of-the-box connection to Microsoft Azure IoT
Central on Microsoft Azure
Geneva, May 7, 2019 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a
global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum
of electronics applications, is launching SensorTile.box to help
everyone from young people to expert designers discover the power
of IoT and quickly understand how they can easily collect and send
sensor information to the cloud.
The flexible IoT Plug and Play module connects easily with
Bluetooth® Low Energy to a smartphone, allowing users to watch the
sensors function as a pedometer, asset tracker, environmental
monitor, or as other instruments. For more experienced designers,
SensorTile.box provides developer and expert modes that help build
sophisticated applications using a graphical wizard or by writing
custom embedded code.
Attracted by its ease of use and relevance to all users across
its full range of customers from consumers and beginners to IoT
professionals, SensorTile.box will be showcased as a new
demonstration platform for Azure IoT Central, which simplifies
connecting smart devices to the cloud for data capture and
analysis.
Andrea Onetti, General Manager of ST's MEMS Sensor Division
said, "SensorTile.box is uniquely flexible. It can be configured
for users of any skill level to support learning, prototyping, or
even as a module within a commercial end-product. Now IoT
Plug and Play certified and compatible with IoT Central, it
connects out-of-the-box with Azure IoT to further extend
opportunities for learning and new-product development."
Tony Shakib, Principal Group PM Manager, Microsoft IoT Business
Acceleration at Microsoft Corp. added, "SensorTile.box will be
showcased as a demonstration platform for Azure IoT Central, which
aims to help everyone understand the benefits of IoT and the cloud
and show them how easy it is to connect."
SensorTile.box contains ST MEMS devices for motion, context, and
environmental sensing housed in a robust 57mm x 38mm x 20mm IP54
plastic container, and is expected to be available from the
beginning of June from www.st.com/sensortilebox or from ST's
distributors.
The commercial module and associated services are provided by
FAE Technology, an authorized ST Partner company. Please visit
fae.technology/sensortilebox for further information.
Additional technical information:
SensorTile.box serves a wide range of sensing, tracking, and
monitoring use cases and is delivered ready to use with a 500mAh
lithium battery and 8GB microSD card already fitted. The on-board
sensors leverage ST's broad portfolio of proven high-performance
MEMS[1] devices and are managed using an ultra-low-power STM32L4R9*
microcontroller. They include:
- STTS751 high-accuracy temperature sensor
- LSM6DSOX low-power 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) with
Machine Learning Core (MLC)
- LIS3DHH and LIS2DW12 3-axis accelerometers
- LIS2MDL magnetometer
- LPS22HH pressure sensor/altimeter
- MP23ABS1 analog microphone
- HTS221 humidity sensor
In addition to pedometer, asset-tracking, and
environmental-monitoring applications, beginners can also explore
vibration monitoring, data recording, inclinometer/level-sensing,
digital compass, and baby-monitoring applications.
Extra flexibility in developer mode lets users activate or shut
down individual sensors to optimize power consumption, leverage
sensor fusion by combining data from multiple sensors to improve
overall accuracy, and individually calibrate sensors after final
assembly using dedicated internal routines. In addition, the
LSM6DSOX machine-learning core and AI extensions to the STM32Cube
development ecosystem allow advanced users to run neural networks
for sophisticated pattern recognition such as activity tracking and
audio-scene classification.
Professional users can also develop powerful applications
quickly and efficiently within the STM32 Open Development
Environment (STM32 ODE), leveraging the STM32CubeMX configurator
and code generator, and the STLink-V3 programmer and debugger.
