Introduction
The
STEVAL-MKBOXPRO
(SensorTile.box PRO) is the new ready-to-use programmable wireless box kit for developing any IoT
application based on remote data gathering and evaluation. Exploit the full kit potential by leveraging both motion and
environmental data sensing. Enhance the connectivity and smartness of whatever environment that you find yourself in.
The STSW-MKBOX-BLEDK is a software package for the BlueNRG-LP Bluetooth® Low Energy system-on-chip supporting
Bluetooth 5.2 specifications. Key highlights of this package are as following:
•
Smart sensor node firmware with BlueNRG-LP as controller
•
Supports both motion and environmental data sensing
•
Over the air (OTA) Firmware upgrade
•
Communication with ST BLE Sensor Classic app
•
Bluetooth® Low Energy examples like beacon, throughput, and serial Port
