STSW-EDUKIT01

Data brief

Firmware for STEVAL-EDUKIT01 evaluation kit for education on motor control

and control systems

Features
• Digital stepper motor control:
– Phase current limit/control
– Adjustable motor speed
– Fully protected power stage
• Interfaces:
– Bidirectional UART over USB
– Magnetic quadrature rotary encoder interface
• Framework:
– Allows experimenting with different motor control strategies

Description
The STSW-EDUKIT01 firmware allows testing of the STEVAL-EDUKIT01 rotary
inverted pendulum kit and embeds the software for the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 stepper
motor expansion board included in the kit.
The firmware allows correct configuration of the rotary encoder parameters for the
stepper motor included in the STEVAL-EDUKIT01 interface via dedicated timers.
It also performs closed loop system control through the STM32 ARM-Cortex M4
microcontroller on the NUCLEO-F401RE development board.
The firmware includes a bidirectional UART interface to send operating parameters to
Product summary a PC and to receive commands to change system operation and configuration.
Firmware for STEVAL- A dedicated Matlab user interface is also provided to help you modify the motor
