Connection to Microcontroller Motherboard
Since the EVK is designed as Arduino Shield it can be directly plugged into an Arduino microcontroller motherboard such as the
Arduino Uno. If the EVK is used with another microcontroller, all control signals and power supplies can be accessed / supplied via
the pin header row interfaces as documented in the tables below.

Table 8: Arduino IO Mapping to EVK Function
-Pin-
Value
Function in EVK
Vin
7V
This pin provides a supply voltage generated by EVK from the applied motor
voltage at screw terminal J6. This voltage is used as input voltage for the
Arduino motherboard or any other microcontroller board which may be used.
The maximum current drawn from this pin must not exceed 500mA (tbc).
5V
5V
This voltage is supplied by the Arduino motherboard to the EVK. In case of
using another microcontroller board, please supply a regulated 5V voltage to
this pin with a minimum current delivery capability of 10mA.
Gnd
0V
All pins
labelled “Gnd” are connected to the ground (0V) of the EVK and are
connected to the ground of the Arduino motherboard. In case of using another
microcontroller board, please connect these pins to its ground terminal.
Table 9: EVK power supply interface to microcontroller
In operation, the Arduino motherboard is supplied by the motor voltage connected to the EVK so no additional power supply to the
microcontroller board is necessary. However, in a typical lab set up the Arduino motherboard may be connected to the USB port of a
host while evaluating, testing and programming. The following table gives an overview about the allowed power supply connections
in this case if one or two EVKs are plugged into the microcontroller board.
