STEVAL-GPT001V1 cradle board
The
STEVAL-GPT001V1
increases the autonomy of the SensorTile module when the 5 V USB supply source is not available, thanks to the
harvested energy provided by the PV panels.
The cradle board features:
•
A pluggable or solderable interface (CN2) for the STEVAL-STLCS01V1 SensorTile module
•
SPV1050TTR
•
SW1 - ON/OFF switch to enable/disable the LDO supplying the SensorTile module
•
STBC08PMR
•
HTS221
•
STC3115
•
USBLC6-2P6
•
USB type A to micro-B USB connector for power supply and communication
•
SWD connector for programming and debugging

SWD cable
The five-way SWD cable easily allows the
debugger system such as ST-LINK V2.1 (refer to
further details on the programming interface).

Software description
The STSW-GPT001V1 software available with the
STLKT01 SensorTile kit software, with the addition of the following functions:
•
Running mode, which calculates the system autonomy on the basis of the battery current sensed by
STC3115
current consumption when the PV modules constitute the available energy source. The software returns the
battery charge level, the average current consumption and the estimated overall system autonomy.
•
Sleep mode: the interrupt to wake up the microcontroller is provided by the accelerometer output being
inactive for a time period longer than 1 minute by default. It can be changed and set up according to the
specific firmware needs. In this condition, the RTC of the microcontroller remains active to count the time
elapsed during the low power consumption mode. Battery charge measurement just before and after the
sleep mode allows calculating the amount of charge stored during this time frame.
