Software Description

•The FP-SNS-FLIGHT1 is an STM32Cube function pack which let your IoT node connect to a smartphone via BLE and uses a suitable Android™ or iOS™ application like the STBLESensor app to view real-time environmental time-of-flight sensor data.

•It uses the NDEF standard for simple and secure Bluetooth pairing, storing the necessary information on the NFC tag, thus simplifying the device configuration.

•This package, together with the suggested combination of the STM32 and ST devices, can be used to develop wearable applications, or smart things applications in general.

Key features

•Complete firmware to develop an IoT node with NFC, BLE connectivity and time-of-flight sensors

•Sample implementation available for X-NUCLEO-NFC04A1 (optional), X-NUCLEO-53L1A2 and X- NUCLEO-IDB05A2 connected to a NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L476RG

•Compatible with STBLESensor application for Android/iOS, to perform sensors data reading, audio and motion algorithms features demo, and firmware update (FOTA).

•Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to STM32Cube.

•Free, user-friendly

Important Software Additional Information

•The 53L1A2 BSP has been treated as an exception in this package since its version is not compatible with the other BSPs used in this firmware .A patch (53L1A2_Patch.c), located in userspace (\Applications\FLIGHT1\Patch), replaces the original BSP file which has been disabled, allowing the whole software structure to work flawlessly license terms.
