Overview

The STEVAL-MKI135V1 is an adapter board designed to facilitate the evaluation of the LIS2DH ultra-low-power high-performance 3-axis linear accelerometer. It provides the complete LIS2DH pinout in a standard DIL 24 socket format, allowing for easy integration into custom test fixtures or breadboard environments. This board is specifically designed to interface with STMicroelectronics MEMS motherboard systems for advanced sensor characterization.

Why Choose This Part

The DIL 24 form factor provides a bridge between the tiny LGA package of the sensor and standard prototyping hardware. It offers full compatibility with STEVAL-MKI109V2 and STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboards, enabling use of the Unico-GUI software for real-time data visualization and register configuration without writing code.

Applications

Motion-Activated Power Saving
Prototyping wake-up functions where the accelerometer triggers system power-on upon detecting movement.
Industrial Tilt Sensing
Evaluating the LIS2DH for inclination monitoring and leveling applications in industrial equipment.
Vibration Monitoring
Testing the sensor's capability to detect and log high-frequency mechanical vibrations in machinery.
Impact and Shock Detection
Developing algorithms for detecting sudden deceleration or drop events in portable electronics.

Getting Started

Plug the adapter into a DIL 24 socket on a compatible STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard or use jumper wires to connect the SPI/I2C pins to an external microcontroller. Download the Unico-GUI software from ST to quickly evaluate sensor performance and test different power modes. For firmware development, ST provides standard C drivers for the LIS2DH on GitHub to accelerate integration into your MCU projects.
