Kit overview

The STEVAL-GPT001V1
Po batteries, a fuel gauge and a humidity and temperature sensor, housed in a watch-shaped silicon strap with
embedded PV solar panels.
The user can plug the
connector (CN2).
The kit has been designed for evaluation purpose and to support the development and prototyping phase of new
projects.
A complete hardware and software file package is available at www.st.com containing:
• Hardware files (schematics, Gerber, BoM)
• Software files:
– Basic firmware (.hex), running on STEVAL-STLCS01V1 SensorTile module
– Complete software app. (.apk) to monitor and run the whole system features via smartphone and tablet
The kit features:
• Sensor Tile Cradle with
sensor, gas gauge, lithium battery charger, micro-USB port, ON/OFF switch and breakaway SWD connector
• 3.7 V / 100 mAh Li-Po battery
• SWD programming cable
• Silicon strap embedding the thin-film flexible solar modules and housing the SensorTile Cradle and the
battery
• Software libraries and tools:
– STSW-GPT001V1: dedicated SensorTile firmware package supporting different algorithms tailored to
the on-board sensors and computation of system autonomy and charge stored in the battery
– FP-SNS-ALLMEMS1:
– FP-SNS-MOTENV1:
– STBLESensor: iOS and Android demo apps
– BlueST-SDK: iOS and Android software development kit
– Compatible with STM32 ecosystem through STM32Cube support
• STEVAL-STLCS01V1 SensorTile module (not included in the kit)
• Firmware debug/upload through the SWD connector and cable
• RoHS and WEEE compliant
1.1.1.1 Watch-shaped silicon strap
The watch-shaped silicon strap has been designed to embed high efficiency flexible PV panels and to host both
the STEVAL-GPT001V1
kit.
The PV panels are connected to the input stage of the STEVAL-GPT001V1 cradle board.
As shown in Figure 1. STEVAL-GPT001V1 development
• A PV panel is embedded in the front quadrant and can reach up to about 4 mW;
• Two PV panels are embedded in the lateral straps and each of them can provide up to about 2 mW each at
1 Sun.
The four PV panels embedded in the strap are connected in parallel, so that, in total, they can supply up to 8 mW
at 1 Sun.
Three dedicated slots are available on the back and right side of the quadrant for direct access to the SWD, to the
micro-USB connector and to the ON/OFF switch (SW1).
