System setup guide

This section describes how to setup different hardware components before writing and
executing an application on the STM32 Nucleo board with the sensor expansion board.
Sensors_Datalog GUI setup
The Sensors_Datalog GUI included in the software package is a graphical user interface
that can be used to interact and obtain data from the sensors on the sensor expansion
board.
This utility retrieves sensor data from the connected Nucleo board and displays it in a
tabular or graphical form.
In order to use the Sensors_Datalog GUI, make sure you have correctly set up your
hardware and software (Sensors_Datalog GUI installed).
STM32 Nucleo and sensor expansion board setup
The STM32 Nucleo board integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer. The
developer can download the relevant version of the ST-LINK/V2-1 USB driver (according to
the MS Windows OS) by searching ST-SW-LINK008 or STSW-LINK009 on www.st.com.
The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 sensor expansion board can be easily connected to the Nucleo
motherboard through the Arduino UNO R3 extension connector, see
expansion board is capable of interfacing with the external STM32 microcontroller on
Nucleo using Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
