1 Introduction

The Basic Mode of SensorTile.box allows users to experience the SensorTile.box without any programming. After unboxing the SensorTile.box, you can directly connect it to your smartphone and then experience the sensor functions on the SensorTile.box through the mobile application ST BLE Sensor.

2 Introduction to Entry Mode Functions

The predefined applications in the entry-level mode of SensorTile.box mainly cover the following sensors:

Sample Application	sensor	illustrate
Baby Crying Detector	Analog microphone MP23ABS1	Record and extract sound information by simulating wind
Pedometer	Low power 6-axis inertial measurement unit LSM6DSOX	Using acceleration data to record step count
Barometer	Temperature sensor STTS751 Humidity Sensor HTS221 Pressure sensor LPS22HH	Collect data from 3 environmental sensors simultaneously
Vibration Monitor	Low power 6-axis inertial measurement unit LSM6DSOX	Relying on FFT transformation of high-frequency accelerometer data train Record typical/normal data to SD Compare Lights up an LED when data is atypical/abnormal (this can serve as an early warning)
Compass And Level	Low power 6-axis inertial measurement unit LSM6DSOX LIS2MDL magnetometer	Fuse the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to calculate the Euler angle (roll/pitch/yaw) and orientation
Sensor Fusion-Quaternion	Low power 6-axis inertial measurement unit LSM6DSOX LIS2MDL magnetometer	Fuse the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to calculate quaternion
	LIS3DHH and LIS2DW12 3-axis accelerometers

3. Functional Experience

Figure 3.1 ST BLE Sensor predefined application

1. Open the ST BLE Sensor APP on your phone, turn on the Bluetooth function on your phone, connect to the SensorTile.box via BLE, and select your own SensroTile.box (MAC address) from the scanned Bluetooth devices.

• • As of June 2020, the latest version of the mobile app is 4.6.3
  • After successfully connecting to the phone, if new data transmission occurs, the blue light of the SensorTile.box starts flashing at a 2s cycle.

2. Select a predefined application, click "PLAY", and it will prompt you to update sensororile.box information

Figure 3.2 Updating the sensortile.box application

3. Click "OK" and ST BLE Sensor will update the SensorTile.box application via BLE. After the update is complete, it will prompt "App loader successfully"

Figure 3.3 Sensortile.box application update completed

4. Then reconnect the SensorTile.box and run the selected application. The following is the operation of the compass and level:
