The STEVAL-MKI172V1 is an adapter board designed to facilitate the evaluation of the LSM303AGR e-compass module. The board offers an effective solution for fast system prototyping and device evaluation directly within the user’s own application. The STEVAL-MKI172V1 can be plugged into a standard DIL24 socket. The adapter provides the complete LSM303AGR pinout and comes ready to use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line. This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109V3 and STEVAL-MKI109D development platforms that include a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the MEMS Studio downloadable graphical user interface or dedicated software routines for customized applications.
