Getting started with the STM32 ODE function pack for IoT node with NFC, 

BLE connectivity and environmental, motion and Time-of-Flight sensors 

Introduction 

FP-SNS-FLIGHT1 is an STM32 ODE function pack for connecting an IoT node to a smartphone via 
Bluetooth low energy and view real time humidity, pressure, motion, proximity and ambient light sensor 
data (for X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 only). 

It uses the NDEF standard for simple and secure Bluetooth pairing, storing the necessary information on 
the NFC tag and thus simplifying the device configuration. It includes the functionality to perform 
firmware over-the-air updating (FOTA) with the ST BlueMS application for Android/iOS devices. 

This package lets you jump-start your sensor node development so that you can focus on adding 
desired functions. 

The expansion is built on STM32Cube software technology to ease portability across different STM32 
microcontrollers. 

The software comes with sample driver implementations running on the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 (or X-
NUCLEO-IKS01A1), X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 (or X-NUCLEO-6180XA1), X-NUCLEO-NFC01A1 and the X- 
NUCLEO-IDB05A1 (or X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1) boards connected to a NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-
L476RG development board.
