 FP-SNS-MOTENVWB1
Software Overview
Software Description
Overall Software Architecture
• The FP-SNS-MOTENVWB1 function pack for STM32Cube lets you connect your IoT node to a
smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and use a suitable Android or iOS application such
as the STBLESensor app to view real-time motion, environmental (temperature, relative
humidity) and time-of-flight sensor data.
• The package also enables advanced functionality such as sensor data fusion, accelerometer-
based real-time activity recognition, carry position, gesture recognition, pedometer, motion
Intensity, compass and objects distance.
• Together with the suggested combination of STM32WB and ST devices, it can be used to
develop specific wearable and environmental applications, or smart things applications in
general.
• The software runs on the STM32WB microcontroller and includes all the necessary drivers to
recognize the devices on the STM32WB55 Nucleo development board (P-NUCLEO-WB55), X-
NUCLEO-IKS01A3 and X-NUCLEO-53L3A2 (optional) expansion boards.

Key features
• Complete firmware to develop an IoT node with BLE connectivity, environmental, motion and
time-of-flight sensors
• Middleware libraries for sensor data fusion, accelerometer-based real-time activity recognition,
carry position, gesture recognition, motion intensity recognition and pedometer.
• Compatible with ST BLE Sensor application for Android/iOS, to perform sensor data reading,
motion algorithm features and firmware update (FOTA)
• Example implementation available for the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 and X-NUCLEO-53L3A2
(optional) connected to a P-NUCLEO-WB55.Nucleo
• Easy portability across different MCU families, thanks to STM32Cube
