SensorTile.box - Programmer adapter board and cable

[MCach.1]

Hi!

Just purchased a SensorTile.Box, and moving now to use it on Pro Mode.

On the SensorTile.Box user manual, it is mentioned that the product includes an adapter board - however, the one that I purchased did not include one. Does anyone know how can I obtain this adapter board? Doesn't seem to be available at ST website...

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Miguel @MCach.1​ ,

did you purchase your Sensortile.box kit from ST eStore or from a distributor?

Thanks for the quick reply

I purchased this through Mouser a week ago.

Hi Miguel @MCach.1​ ,

I checked internally and was told that in this case you have to refer to the distributor, and ask them for explanation.

They should (from 1 year indeed...) send kits equipped with cable and connector.

Let me know their feedback on this.

Hi @Eleon BORLINI​ 

Unfortunately, the provider claims that it is the device manufacturer the one responsible for providing all parts. They claim that they have no ownership of what comes on STM products.

I understand both sides of the story, but I feel I am now on a deadlock, as I can't purchase the adapter anywhere else. Is there any alternative way forwards?

Thanks in advance,

Miguel, take a look at this discussion. I think it may give you some info about the extra module, the B-STLINK-VOLT, which just drops the voltage from the stlink_v3 to 1.8 volts to use with the sensortile.box. It's actually just easier to get the ST-LINK_v2 package as it comes with everything you need to make the sensortile.box work, cables and correct voltage.

added for correction: After looking over the posts and what I have on my bench it appears the st-link_v3 kit comes with the necessary cabling to connect to the sensor.box but I used the st-link_v2 and an Adafruit CORTEX-SWD Adapter board (about $5) along with the proper connection cable and st-programmer to load the fimware.
