STorM32 Boards

2017-07-19T07:14:18Z

AlexLmm: /* GLB STorM32 v1.31 */

The technical specifications of various STorM32 boards are presented, as far as they are known. To find suppliers/vendors please go to [[Where to buy STorM32 boards]]. For a detailed description of the various connectors on the (original) boards see [[Pins and Connectors]].

== "Original" STorM32 Boards ==

At present, the versions v1.1, v1.2, and v1.3 are in use (v0.17/v1.0 and v2.4 boards are deprecated). Their commonality is a resistive voltage regulator and the TC4452 motor drivers.

=== STorM32-BGC v2.4 ===
----
[[File:Storm32-bgc-nt-v24-picture.jpg|thumb|caption|STorM32-BGC board v2.4 specifically designed for NT]]
{|
|- valign="top"
|width=300px|
* MCU: STM32F103RC at 72 MHz
* motor drivers fo yaw axis: TC4452
* voltage regulator: linear resistive
* on-board 6DOF IMU (MPU9250, connected to spi)
* Futaba S-Bus
* Spektrum satellite
* up to four PWM/Sum-PPM inputs/outputs
* joystick port for two axes
* 2 auxiliary ports
* BUT port
* 2 NT ports and one NT-X port
* external 5V
|
* supply voltage: 6 - 18 V or 2 - 4S
* motor current: max. 1 A per motor '''''Comment''': The on-board motor drivers for the yaw axis are not designed for high power. If high power is needed a NT motor module should be used for yaw''.
* board dimensions: 40 mm x 25 mm, 35 mm bolt to bolt, holes Ø3 mm
|}

{{COMMENT|{{WARNING|This board has been deprecated.}}}}

{{COMMENT|{{WARNING|This board has motor drivers for only one axis; NT motor modules need thus be used for the other axes.}} In T-STorM32 applications, the on-board 5 V LDO isn't able to deliver the power for all NT modules; the board allows one to install a 5 V step-down regulator, such as those from Pololu.}}

=== STorM32-BGC v1.3 ===

Ports and Pins by Function

2017-01-31T19:45:37Z

AlexLmm: /* MOT0, MOT1, MOT2 */

The info on this page refers to the v2.4 and v1.3 STorM32 boards. For v1.1 and v1.2 boards small but important differences exist; read carefully the comments below. The pins of the v1.31 board are identical to that of the v1.3 board.

This page gives a brief overview and description of the many connections on the STorM32 BGC. For the details of their function and usage refer please to the other wiki pages.

The STorM32 BGC connections are grouped into what shall be called '''''ports'''''. A port consists typically of one or more '''''pins''''', a Gnd pin and possibly a 3.3 V or 5 V pin. The pins of a port are typically labeled by the port name plus a number (e.g. AUX-0 refers to the pin 0 on the AUX port) or, if relevant, by its commonly known function (such as Gnd, 3.3 V, Tx, Rx, SCL, SDA etc.). Some pins serve multiple purposes (e.g. pin RC-0 serves as Futaba S-BUS input or UART1-Rx).

Except of the ports POT and BUT all ports are 5 V tolerant, which means that you can apply signals with voltages of up to 5 V to their pins without damaging the board. The ports POT and BUT are however not 5 V tolerant. '''''{{WARNING|The voltage on the POT and BUT pins must not exceed 3.3 V}}'''''.

The 3.3 V pins should only be used as supply. '''''{{WARNING|Never apply any voltage to a 3.3 V pin}}''''' (unless you're an expert and know what you do).

Which port and/or pins are available depends on the board version, not all have all.

[[File:Storm32-bgc-nt-v24-ports-and-connections.jpg|thumb|380px]][[File:Storm32-bgc-v13-ports-and-connections.jpg|thumb|280px]]
The following ports are available:

== MOT0, MOT1, MOT2 ==
'''Function:''' These ports are the connectors for the motors. The yaw motor has to be connected to MOT2. (M0=Pitch by default).

== NT Bus Port ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, Rx, Tx, 5V

'''Function:''' Connector for the NT bus, where all NT modules go to.

{{COMMENT|The sequence of the Rx, Tx pins is swapped as compared to the NT bus port on the NT modules!}}

== NT-X Bus Port ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, Rx, Tx, 5V, Gnd, BAT, BAT

'''Function:''' Connector for the NT bus, where all NT modules go to, inclusive a pass through for the battery voltage.

{{COMMENT|The sequence of the Rx, Tx pins is swapped as compared to the NT bus port on the NT modules!}}

''{{WARNING|'''WARNING:''' Be very careful with that port, the BAT pins carry the battery voltage and any contact to any of the other pins will immediately destroy the STorM32 board.}}''

== I2C (NT Bus Port) ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, Tx, Rx, 3.3V

'''Function:''' Connector for the NT bus, where all NT modules go to.

{{COMMENT|In I2C-based setups, the pins of this port are assigned to the I2C lines Gnd, SCL, SDA, and 3.3V. Hence the name of this port.}}

== I2C#2 ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, SCL, SDA, 3.3V

'''Function:''' Connector for an external I2C-based 2nd MPU module, if this is to be used instead of the on-board MPU.

''{{WARNING|'''WARNING:''' On v1.1 boards the pins of connector I2C#2 are in reverse order to those of connector I2C, which implies also reversed voltage polarity. Pay attention to that before connecting a second IMU to the I2C#2 port.}}''

== RC ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, RC-0, RC-1, RC-2

'''Function:''' The pins on this port can serve multiple functions, depending on parameter settings.

Their default function is to provide inputs for RC PWM signals. Typically RC receivers are connected to here. The input pulse lengths of 1 ms to 2 ms are converted to the value range -500 ... 500. The frequency of the input pulses can vary, and can be as high as 430 Hz.

Pin RC-0 can alternatively be configured as input to read the signal line from a Spektrum satellite, or the Futaba S-bus.

Pin RC-1 can alternatively be configured as output to generate PWM servo signals.

Pin RC-2 can alternatively be configured as input for sum PPM signals.

{{COMMENT|On v1.1 boards the Futaba S-bus support is not available.}}

== RC2 ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, RC2-0, RC2-1, RC2-2, RC2-3

'''Function:''' Inputs for RC PWM signals. Typically RC receivers are connected to here. The input pulse lengths of 1 ms to 2 ms are converted to the value range -500 ... 500. The frequency of the input pulses can vary, and can be as high as 430 Hz.

== POT ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, POT-0, POT-1, POT-2, 3.3V

'''Function:''' These three pins are connected to the analog digital converter (ADC) of the microprocessor and hence can digest analog signals. The analog signal is converted to the value range -500...500. Typically the central pins of potentiometers of e.g. a joystick are connected to here; the hot and cold potentiometer pins go then to the Gnd and 3.3V pins.

''{{WARNING|'''WARNING:''' Never apply signals with voltages larger than 3.3 V to any of these pins, this will destroy your board immediately!}}''

== BUT ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, BUT-0

'''Function:''' This pin is actually also connected to the analog digital converter (ADC) of the microprocessor, but the analog signal are processed differently than those on the POT port. Currently this port is used to connect a key or switch to it.

''{{WARNING|'''WARNING:''' Never apply signals with voltages larger than 3.3 V to any of these pins, this will destroy your board immediately!}}''

== AUX ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, AUX-0, AUX-1, AUX-2

'''Function:''' These are general purpose pins. Currently they are used to connect up to three keys and/or switches.

{{COMMENT|On v1.1 and v1.2 boards this port exhibits a 3.3 V pin instead of AUX-2, i.e. the pins are Gnd, AUX-0, AUX-1, 3.3V from right to left.}}

== SPK ==
'''Pins:''' 3.3 V, Gnd, Signal

'''Function:''' Connector for a Spektrum satellite receiver.

{{COMMENT|On v1.1 boards the connector itself is not available, but the function can be accessed by connecting the Spektrum's signal line to the RC-0 pin.}}

== IR ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, IR-0

'''Function:''' Allows to connect an IR led to remote control a camera.

== UART ==
'''Pins:''' Gnd, Rx, Tx

'''Function:''' Standard serial port to communicate with the board. The serial is set to 115200 bps, no parity bit, one stop bit. Details of the communication protocol can be found in the [http://www.olliw.eu/storm32bgc-wiki/index.php5/Technical_Manual Technical Manual].

== SWD ==

'''Pins:''' SWDIO, Gnd, SWCLK, 3.3V

'''Function:''' Connector for programming the microcontroller using a [http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/FM146/CL1984/SC724/SS1677/PF251168 ST-Link/V2] programming tool.

{{COMMENT|The SWD port is located right above the AUX port on the board.}}

{{COMMENT|On v1.1 boards the labeling of the pins is incorrect. On some boards the issue has been resolved by a sticker.}}

Differences to the v1.3 board:
* voltage regulator: smaller SOT223 package
* only 2 auxiliary ports

=== STorM32-BGC v1.1 ===
----
Differences to the v1.3 board:
* no Futaba S-bus support

{{COMMENT|{{WARNING|The 3.3V power on this board seems to be quite weak, and has caused repeatedly issues with powering NT modules. One single NT IMU seems to be ok, but not more. See also [[https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=36049535&postcount=9117]].}}}}

{{COMMENT|For NT setups this board might be preferred over the v1.31 board, since it uses the same linear regulator as the v1.3 and not the weak switching regulator of the v1.31. For older i2c-based setups it's probably better to get a v1.31, which tends to be cheaper and especially offers a switching voltage regulator.}}

== Third-Party Boards ==

The terms of usage of the STorM32 project allows, and in fact encourages, making own hardware, for both DIY and commercial purposes, without restrictions.

{{COMMENT|{{WARNING| This board is suitable only for 2S (see [[http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=33480082&postcount=7004]]), with higher voltages it gets quite hot and may malfunction. Read also this: [[http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2055844&page=144&pp=50#post33773254]]. The board can only be flashed with a ST-Link adapter via SWD, it cannot be flashed via the "usual" procedure. Many pins/ports are not available. Overall, this board cannot be recommended, except for special applications.}}}}
