This hands-on workshop explores the in-sensor processing capabilities of ST's MEMS motion sensors and how they can reduce host processor workload, power consumption, and overall system complexity. Attendees will use MEMS Studio to configure, test, visualize, and evaluate sensor features and algorithms, and learn how to build motion-detection algorithms that dynamically adapt sensor configurations without host processor intervention.
ST's MEMS motion sensors support advanced embedded features including a Finite State Machine (FSM) for configurable motion tracking and a Machine Learning Core (MLC) for context awareness and embedded AI applications. Adaptive Self-Configuration (ASC) enables sensors to automatically reconfigure in real time based on a detected motion pattern or the output of an MLC decision tree.
Workshop examples will use the ISM6HG256X high-g IMU on the X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 expansion board. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will configure and test FSM and ASC features to implement algorithms that automatically switch sensor power modes based on detected conditions.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will understand how to identify ST MEMS motion sensors with embedded processing capabilities and leverage FSM and ASC to create more responsive, power-efficient applications.
This workshop combines a pre-recorded video presentation — which you can pause, rewind, or revisit at your own pace — with a live 3-hour Q&A/chat session, offered through breakout rooms, where you can speak with our experts and receive one-on-one tech support. Once the video presentation opens on the selected session date, you can return to it on-demand at any time.
The X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1 expansion board features a broad range of industrial motion and environmental sensors, including:

This workshop is intended for engineers and developers working with MEMS sensors who want to quickly prototype sensor-based applications, optimize power consumption, and implement motion event detection without relying heavily on the host processor.
It is particularly relevant for engineers developing applications in areas such as industrial automation, robotics, asset tracking, condition monitoring, and other applications that require intelligent, low-power motion sensing.
This workshop is open to residents of the Americas only.
The STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32F401RE MCU (NUCLEO-F401RE) and Motion MEMS and environmental sensor expansion board for STM32 Nucleo (X-NUCLEO-IKS5A1) are required to perform the lab exercises (see Prerequisites).
Exclusively for registrants of this workshop, the boards can be purchased in the ST eStore on a buy one, get the other free basis, with free shipping. You will receive a coupon code and purchase instructions by email shortly after we receive your request to participate.
We recommend using two screens so that you can watch, pause, and rewind the instruction video on one screen while completing the workshop tasks on the other.
