Description
FP-SNS-MOTENV1 is an STM32Cube function pack, which lets you connect your
IoT node to a smartphone via BLE and uses a suitable Android™ or iOS™
application, such as the BlueMS app, to view real-time motion and environmental
(such as temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide) sensor data.
This package also enables advanced functions such as the sensor data fusion and
accelerometer-based real-time activity recognition.
Together with the suggested combination of STM32 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 STM32 microcontroller and includes all the necessary
drivers to recognize the devices on the STM32 Nucleo development board and
expansion boards.

■ Detailed description
What can you do with STM32Cube function packs?
The
STM32Cube function packs leverage the modularity and interoperability of STM32 Nucleo and X-NUCLEO
boards, and STM32Cube and X-CUBE software, to create function examples, embodying some of the most
common use cases, for each application area.
These software function packs are designed to exploit as much as possible the underlying STM32 ODE hardware
and software components to best fit the requirements of final users’ applications.
Moreover, function packs may include additional libraries and frameworks which do not present the original
X-CUBE packages, thus enabling new functionalities and creating a real and usable system for developers.
What is STM32Cube?
STMCube™ is designed by STMicroelectronics to reduce development effort, time and cost across the entire
STM32 portfolio.
STM32Cube version 1.x includes:
• STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the generation of C initialization code
using graphical wizards.
• A comprehensive embedded software platform specific to each series (such as the STM32CubeF4 for the
STM32F4 series), which includes:
– the STM32Cube HAL embedded abstraction-layer software, ensuring maximized portability across the
STM32 portfolio
– a consistent set of middleware components such as RTOS, USB, TCP/IP and graphics
– all embedded software utilities with a full set of examples
How does this software complement STM32Cube?
The proposed software is based on the STM32CubeHAL, the package extends STM32Cube by providing a board
support package (BSP) for the BlueNRG-MS
, sensor expansion board and middleware components for
communication with other Bluetooth low energy devices and for sensor data fusion.
BlueNRG-MS is a very low power Bluetooth low energy (BLE) single-mode network processor.
The MotionFX filtering and predictive suite uses advanced algorithms to intelligently integrate multiple MEMS
sensor outputs, regardless of environmental conditions achieving an optimal performance. Real-time motion
sensor data fusion is set to increase accuracy, resolution, stability and response time (feature not available on
NUCLEO-L053R8).
The MotionAR real-time software acquires data from the accelerometer to recognize user activities. The software
can also be combined with other human motion recognition algorithms and, as well as the MotionFX, can
significantly improve user experience in advanced motion-based applications in consumer, computer, industrial
and medical fields (feature not available on NUCLEO-L053R8).
The MotionCP real-time software acquires data from the accelerometer and recognizes the board position (on
desk, on head, near head, shirt pocket, trouser pocket and swinging arm) (feature not available on NUCLEO-
L053R8).
The MotionGR real-time software acquires data from the accelerometer and recognizes user gestures (pick-up,
glance and wake-up) (feature not available on NUCLEO-L053R8).
The MotionID real-time software acquires data from the accelerometer to recognize user motion intensity. These
softwares can be combined with other human motion recognition algorithms to significantly improve user
experience in advanced motion-based applications in the consumer, computer, industrial and medical fields
(feature not available on NUCLEO-L053R8).
The MotionPM real-time software acquires data from accelerometer and counts the number of steps and related
frequency (feature not available on NUCLEO-L053R8).
Activity recognition, motion intensity recognition, carry position and gesture recognition are managed through
special softwares designed for mobile and wearable applications; the respective algorithms are strictly limited to
work with accelerometer data only to facilitate low power consumption strategies commonly required in these
