Product details

Overview

STEVAL-MKI063V1 from STMicroelectronics is a MEMS demonstration board built around the LSM303DLH system-in-package, integrating a 3-axis digital accelerometer and 3-axis digital magnetometer for eCompass functionality. It features USB-powered operation, I²C/SPI digital interfaces, 6D orientation detection, and a Windows XP-compatible GUI for real-time sensor data visualization.

For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI063V1 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI063V1 pinout, STEVAL-MKI063V1 application, or STEVAL-MKI063V1 equivalent, this board serves as a validated hardware-software reference platform to accelerate development of motion-sensing applications including tilt-compensated compassing, posture recognition, and handheld device orientation.

Technical Context

The board implements a dual-sensor architecture: the LSM303DLH provides synchronized 3D acceleration (±2g/±4g/±8g range) and magnetic field (±1.3/±1.9 Gauss) measurements. An embedded ST7-USB microcontroller acts as a sensor-to-PC bridge, handling protocol translation, sleep/wake control, and host communication via USB CDC class.

Signal conditioning includes on-board voltage regulation (3.3 V), configurable I²C pull-ups, and dedicated reset and clock circuitry for stable sensor initialization. The board supports both default factory firmware and user-reprogrammable firmware for custom sensor fusion or data logging routines.

FAQ

Is STEVAL-MKI063V1 compatible with modern Windows versions like Windows 10 or 11?

No official driver or GUI update was released by ST for Windows 10/11. The original GUI requires Windows XP SP2 or later with .NET Framework 2.0 and specific USB CDC drivers. Users may achieve limited functionality via compatibility mode or virtualized XP environments, but native plug-and-play operation is not supported.

Can the ST7-USB microcontroller on STEVAL-MKI063V1 be reprogrammed?

Yes - the ST7-USB MCU is accessible via SWIM (Single Wire Interface Module) using ST's STVP or STSW-LINK009 tools. ST provides firmware source code and application notes for modifying sensor readout logic, adding calibration routines, or implementing custom USB HID protocols.

Does STEVAL-MKI063V1 support sensor fusion algorithms like tilt-compensated heading calculation?

The board itself does not run onboard sensor fusion; raw accelerometer and magnetometer data are streamed to the PC. However, the provided GUI includes basic tilt-compensation math, and ST's AN3308 application note details implementation methods for full 9DOF fusion when paired with external gyroscope data.

What is the status of LSM303DLH and STEVAL-MKI063V1 in ST's product lifecycle?

Both the LSM303DLH sensor and STEVAL-MKI063V1 evaluation board are marked "Obsolete" per ST's official documentation (Doc ID 17842 Rev 1, August 2010). No new shipments are planned, and technical support is limited to archived resources and community forums.
