New page

This page provides documentation for the STorM32-BGC board sold by [http://multirotormania.com/ Multi Rotor Mania].

== Dos and Don'ts ==

Please read the tutorial's [[Getting Started#Dos and Don'ts|Dos and Don'ts]].

The board is shipped without firmware, it hence needs first to be flashed (see [[Docu for witespy board#Flashing Firmware|here]]).

Also, the pins on the connector I2C#2 on the bottom side are reversed as compared to those of connector I2C. Pay attention to that when connecting a second IMU to the I2C#2 port. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to swap the pins on the connectors of the supplied IMU cables.

== Board Configuration ==
* board version: v1.1
* board color: blue
* motor drivers in DFN packages: yes
* on-board MPU: yes
* on-board bluetooth module: no
* I2C plug type: picoblade (1.25mm JST)
* I2C#2 plug type: picoblade (1.25mm JST)
* pin headers: no

Included accessories:
* MPU module
* cable with connectors for MPU module

Points to note:
* the board comes without firmware
* the pins on connector I2C#2 are reversed as with respect to connector I2C
* on some boards the diode required for runing a bluetooth module is not populated (see [[Docu for witespy board#On-board Bluetooth|here]])

== Specifications ==

* supply voltage: 6 - 18 V or 2 - 4S
* motor current: max. 1.5 A per motor<br/>'''''Comment''': This is not yet fully exploited, motors with resistances of 12 Ohm or larger have been tested to be well handled at 4S (see [//www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2055844&page=2&pp=50#post27515444 here], [//www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2055844&page=15&pp=50#post28578479 here]), motors with 10 Ohm may be handled with care (see [http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=28825482&postcount=947 here] and [http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=28852888&postcount=953 here])''.
* board dimensions: 50 mm x 50 mm, 45 mm bolt to bolt, holes Ø3 mm

== Flashing Firmware ==

Follow the instructions for {{WARNING|v1.1 boards}} in the [[How to flash firmware]] manual.

== On-board Bluetooth ==

The witespy board can be equipped with a [[Bluetooth Module HC06|HC06 bluetooth module]] on the bottom side of the board. However, a diode, which is needed for the on-board bluetooth module to work, is not populated. Its location is shown in the photo below. In principle any diode which fits on the pads can be used, but preferably a Shottky diode is choosen. The "original" type is a [http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/BAS40_1PSXXSB4X_SER.pdf 1PS76SB40]. A possibly simpler solution is to just short circuit the two pads by e.g. soldering a piece of wire across them. However, the communication via the UART port wouldn't work then anymore.

{{COMMENT|When you don't need or use the UART port, you can simply jumper across the diode pads permanently with a piece of wire.}}
