Multi sensor kit with portable sensor box and smart sensor app
Hardware Description
The STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 (SensorTile.box) is a ready-to-use box kit with wireless
IoT and wearable sensor platform to help you use and develop apps based on
remote motion and environmental sensor data, regardless of your level of expertise.
The SensorTile.box board fits into a small plastic shroud with a long-life rechargeable
battery, and the ST BLE Sensor app on your smartphone connects via Bluetooth to
the board and allows you to immediately begin using the wide range of default IoT
and wearable sensor applications.
SensorTile.box includes a firmware programming and debugging interface that allows
professional developers to engage in more complex firmware code development
using the STM32 Open Development Environment (STM32 ODE), which includes a
sensing AI function pack with neural network libraries

Software Overview 5
Software Description
The FP-ATR-BLE1 is STM32Cube Function Pack for low power
asset tracking using BLE connectivity for the SensorTile.box
wireless multi sensor development kit (STEVAL-MKS1BOX1).
The purpose of this functional pack is to provide one example
application that show how to build a custom low power asset
tracking using BLE connectivity for STEVAL-MKS1BOX1.
The expansion is built on STM32Cube software technology to ease
portability across different STM32 microcontrollers.
Key features
•Complete sample application on how to create one asset tracking
application controlled by BLE connectivity
•Ultra low power implementation based on RTOS
•Wake-up, tilt and orientation detection by the on-board
accelerometer
•Environmental sensor data and Intertial data saved on SD card
usinf FatFs middleware
•Middleware Bluetooth connectivity from the X-CUBE-BLE2
software package
•Compatible Compatible with ST Asset Tracking client application
for Android/iOS for supporting firmware setting via Bluetooth
connectivity and for reading the Data log created
•Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to
STM32Cube
•Free, user-friendly license terms.

How to Switch on/off the and how to enable the Bluetooth 10
User ButtonPower Button
•Switch on the SensorTile.box
Keep pressing the Power Button until you will see
a couple of blue & green LED blinking.
•Switch off the board
Press again the Power Button for switching off the board
•Enable the Bluetooth advertise
For reducing the power consumption the Bluetooth it’s not enabled
when the ST asset tracking application is not connected to it.
Each time we want to enable it for controlling the asset tracking log
using the ST asset tracking application, press the User Button.
The blue LED will start blinking
•Use the ST asset tracking application for connecting to the SensorTile.box

FP-ATR-BLE1
ST asset tracking Mobile App 11
•Switch on the SensorTile.box and enable Bluetooth
connectivity
•Start the ST asset tracking application and select FP-ATR-BLE1
•Search the board (ATB_100 default name)
•Connect to the board and make the pairing (default PIN 123456)
