Introducing the ST Micro SensorTile.box Pro

The ST Micro SensorTile.box Pro (STEVAL-MKBOXPRO) is their latest eval kit. It is stuffed to the gunwales with MEMS sensors, RFID, Bluetooth 5.2, wireless charging and has a STM32U585AI (ARM® Cortex®-M33 SoC) microcontroller to run everything.

A few months back I was given a preproduction sample to look at. In this video, we take a tour of this brand-new (preproduction sample) kit and run up the demo software.
