Learn how to jumpstart your next Bluetooth® solution using a pre‑certified STM32WB-based wireless module

 

Virtual hands-on workshop

Access the course

This online workshop will teach you how to develop Bluetooth Mesh networks easily through hands-on exercises using a development kit based on the STM32WB5MMG, a highly-integrated and pre-certified wireless MCU module. The module enables product teams to build connected devices with minimal wireless design skills. The development kit (STM32WB5MM-DK Discovery) features multiple sensors, a digital microphone, QSPI Flash, RGB LEDs and an OLED display to facilitate fast prototyping.

The workshop will guide you through a rich STM32WB development ecosystem consisting of tools, design wizards, radio stacks, and turnkey software libraries available free-of-charge. During the hands-on exercises, you will learn how to create a Bluetooth mesh network using two Discovery kits and your smartphone.

Who should attend

This workshop is intended for hardware and firmware engineers developing IoT nodes, home appliance and automation systems, industrial controls, medical devices, and wearable products.

Prerequisites

  • Two STM32WB5MM-DK Discovery kits
  • Computer running Windows 7 or Windows 10
  • Two Micro-USB cables to connect the boards to your computer
  • Though not required, it is highly recommended to watch our STM32WB Getting Started Video Series*
  • *This video series is based on the P-NUCLEO-WB55 evaluation board but still features the STM32WB55, and all principles are the same.
