Universal wireless sensor node STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 for the Internet of Things

26.01.2020

STMicroelectronics has released a new complete wireless device STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1, which is a set of various sensors, a battery and a wireless BLE interface in a matchbox-sized package.

STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 not only allows you to measure many parameters - temperature, pressure, humidity, position in space, motion and sound, but also perform calculations thanks to the built-in ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP and FPU (STM32L4R9) with ultra-low power consumption. To interact with a smartphone, a special ST BLE Sensor application is provided.

STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 (SensorTile.box) is a ready-to-use wearable and wireless IoT platform that will help you build applications based on various sensors. The plastic case houses the SensorTile.box board and battery, while the ST BLE Sensor app is installed on a smartphone and connected via Bluetooth. You can develop your applications based on sensor measurements with parameter setting and special functions in Expert Mode. In this way, you can create wireless IoT devices and gadgets, bypassing the stage of classical programming.

Using the STM32 ODE open environment debugging interface, which includes a package of functions for processing sensor data with the participation of AI and neural network libraries, you can develop more complex firmware for the STM32L4 microcontroller.

SensorTile.box includes the following high precision sensors:

Temperature sensor (STTS751);
6-axis inertial MEMS (LSM6DSOX);
Tri-axis accelerometers (LIS2DW12 and LIS3DHH);
3-axis magnetometer (LIS2MDL);
Pressure sensor / altimeter / (LPS22HH);
Microphone/audio sensor (MP23ABS1);
Humidity sensor (HTS221).

Features of STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1:

Ready to work "out of the box";
Step counter;
"Wireless babysitter" based on Cloud AI computer analyzer;
Barometer/environment monitoring;
Control of movement of goods;
Vibration control;
Inclinometer and compass;
Parameter recorder.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi Pro Router 25.10.2019

Huawei has unveiled Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi, a mobile WiFi router with a built-in 5G modem that can also act as a power bank for other mobile devices.

Externally, Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi resembles a regular portable battery in a rectangular case. At the same time, the design of the router echoes the Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design premium smartphone: here the front panel is leather-like, diluted with a vertical strip of black glass in the center.

Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi equipment includes the Balong 5 5000G modem with support for non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (Standalone, SA) networks, which we detailed here. Huawei claims speeds of up to 1,56 Gbps (connection) and up to 867 Mbps (connection).

Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi will be offered in two versions 5G Mobile WiFi and 5G Mobile WiFi Pro, differing in built-in battery capacity and charging speeds. The younger 5G Mobile WiFi is equipped with a built-in 4000 mAh battery, and the older 5G Mobile WiFi Pro has an element twice as large - 8000 mAh. In addition, support for triple fast charging is announced for the older model: the battery itself supports Huawei's proprietary 40-watt charging technology using a charger of the appropriate power and at the same time can quickly charge other mobile devices with 22,5 W over the wire and 18 W over the air (reverse wireless charger).

Another feature of Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi is a small informative display at the top, where a QR code can be displayed to quickly connect to the network.
