STEVAL-MKI234KA

Data brief

Accelerometer and gyroscope module for UI and bone conduction kit with QVAR
functionality based on LSM6DSV16BX

Features
• User friendly LSM6DSV16BX board
• Complete LSM6DSV16BX pinout for a standard DIL 24 socket
• Fully compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard
• RoHS compliant

Description
The STEVAL-MKI234KA evaluation kit is based on the LSM6DSV16BX inertial
module with a Qvar electrostatic sensor and three different electrodes (swipe finger
and generic) to make it compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3.
The kit provides the complete LSM6DSV16BX pinout and comes ready-to-use with
the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line.
The STEVAL-MKE00xAA can be plugged into the STEVAL-MKI234A board.
This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109V3 mother board, which includes a
high performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor
and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable graphical user interface
(Unico-GUI), or dedicated software routines for customized applications.
It is also possible to plug the board into an X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 expansion board.
