STorM32 Micro Series
Series of stackable boards with 20x20 mm hole pattern: Main board, NT Motor-Encoder module, NT Triple Motor module, NT Logger module.
<strong>changes in v3.3:</strong><br>- board specifically designed for NT and T-STorM32<br>- no motor drivers on board<br>- 3 NT plugs to make it easy to connect several NT modules<br>- NT-X plug carrying also the battery voltage<br>- 5 V power rail on the NT bus, with sufficient "juice"<br>- Rx&Tx on NT bus swapped, to avoid cable crossing to connect with NT modules<br>- support of stacking with a "high-power" extension board<br>- MPU9250 on board, spi (no i2c anymore!)<br>- firmware update procedure via USB<br>- ESP8266 port for WIFI connectability<br>- CAN bus port<br>- no BOOT0 button, smaller RESET button<br>- 0402 size parts<br>- board size as small as I could get it with a 2 layer design: 40 x 25 mm<br>- mounting holes, 3 mm diameter, 35 mm apart
v1.x Boards
<strong>changes in v1.3:</strong><br>- voltage regulator in DPak package<br>- AUX2 instead of 3.3V pin at AUX port<br>- solder jumper to disconnect bluetooth led<br>- values of resistors R12,R13,R22 changed <br><strong>changes in v1.2:</strong><br>- minor issues of v1.1 corrected<br>- Futaba S-bus support<br>- Spektrum sattelite connector<br>- usb disconnect network modified to suite F4 processors (thanks ala42!)<br>- usb voltage protection diode added (as in v0.17)<br>- further minor changes in scheme and layout <br><strong>changes in v1.1:</strong><br>- reverse voltage protection added<br>- layout supports TC4452 motor drivers in DFN package for increased power capabilities<br>- high-side pnp open collector output for driving an IR led added<br>- additional connector for I2C#2 port added<br>- larger solder holes and pads for battery power connection<br>- improved pin arrangement for easier use
