Using a STEVAL-MKI197V1 with a Nucleo-64 but without an expansion board

[paul19]

I need to use a gyroscope with my Nucleo-64 board, but the gyroscope needs to stand apart (i.e. at the end of a cable). Is the STEVAL-MKI197V1 a good match? Can I connect it directly to my Nucleao-64 with a SPI cable, *without* using an expansion board? (such as X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1, X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2, X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3, X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1).

Hello @paul19​ 

Yes there is no problem to connect it through cables instead of the easy plugin Arduino connector.

Thanks @Bruno_ST. It works well indeed.

For reference, the SPI connection can be found here.
