STEVAL-MKBOXPRO [STMicroelectronics]

The STEVAL-MKBOXPRO (SensorTile.box PRO) is the new ready-to-use programmable wireless box kit for developing any IoT application based on remote data gathering and evaluation, exploit the full kit potential by leveraging both motion and environmental data sensing, along with a digital microphone, and enhance the connectivity and smartness of whatever environment you find yourself into.

You can entirely enjoy the SensorTile.box PRO experience regardless of your level of expertise, the box kit could be exploited according to three different modalities:

Entry mode: run a wide range of already embedded IoT applications on your box.

You can download the free STBLESensor App on your smartphone and immediately begin commanding the board with any of the following applications that have been specifically designed to work with the board sensors:

1) Motion: Compass, Free-fall detection, Level, Pedometer, Sensor-fusion - Quaternion

2) Environmental: Barometer

3) Log: Data recorder

4) AI and MLC: Baby crying detector, Human activity recognition

5) User interface: Qtouch

6) Connectivity: NFC Tag

Expert mode: build custom applications through the STBLESensor App by selecting specific input data and operating parameters from corresponding available in-box sensors, functions to assess/compute those data, and output types that you need, while leveraging on the available powerful algorithms.

Pro mode: develop quickly your own tailored IoT application taking advantage of STM32 open development environment (ODE) and ST function pack libraries, including sensing AI function pack with neural network libraries, without the need to perform any coding activity.

The SensorTile.box PRO board fits into a small plastic box with a long-life 480mAh rechargeable battery, for the first time leveraging also on a wireless charger and a programmable NFC tag. The board can be easily connected via Bluetooth to the ST BLE Sensor app on your smartphone, from which the box kit can be enjoyed in Entry and Expert mode. In Pro mode, professional users can exploit the firmware programming and debugging interface in the STM32 ODE for developing their firmware from scratch.
