X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2: MEMS Inertial and Environmental Multi sensor shield
Overview
The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 is a motion MEMS and environmental sensor expansion board for the STM32 Nucleo. It is equipped with Arduino UNO R3 connector layout, and is designed around the LSM6DSL 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope, the LSM303AGR 3D accelerometer and 3D magnetometer, the HTS221 humidity and temperature sensor and the LPS22HB pressure sensor.
The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 interfaces with the STM32 microcontroller via the I2C pin, and it is possible to change the default I2C port.
More information about the board can be found at the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 website [1].

Hardware Configuration
X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 board connects the various devices on two separate I2C bus:
LSM6DL is on I2C2
LSM303AGR, LPS22HB, HTS221 are on I2C1
X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 board can be configured in two different ways: Mode 1 and Mode 2
Mode 1: Standard Mode
In standard I2C mode the two buses are connected together. As a consequence, all devices on the shield reside on the same I2C bus and are accessible from the main board through I2C bus.
The jumper configuration to activate this mode is:
JP7 => 1-2, 3-4 (I2C1 = I2C2, I2Cx=GND)
JP8 => 1-2, 3-4 (I2C1 = I2C2, I2Cx=GND)
Mode 2: SensorHub Mode
In SensorHub mode LSM6DSL is connected to I2C2 and is accessible from the main board. All the other devices are connected to LSM6DSL master through I2C1.
The jumper configuration to activate this mode is:
JP7 => 2-3 (I2C1 = I2Cx)
JP8 => 2-3 (I2C1 = I2Cx)
More information about X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 configuration modes can be found in the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 databrief [2]
