Hardware and software requirements
Using the STM32 Nucleo boards with the X-NUCLEO-IHM02A1 expansion board requires
the following software and hardware:
•
a Windows PC (XP, Vista, 7, 8) to install the software package;
•
from one to four X-NUCLEO-IHM02A1 expansion boards;
•
an STM32 Nucleo board chosen from among NUCLEO-F401RE, NUCLEO-F302R8 or
NUCLEO-F072RB;
•
a USB type A to Mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC;
•
the X-CUBE-SPN2 software package (available on www.st.com);
•
an IDE chosen from among IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM), keil
microcontroller development Kit (MDK-ARM) and System Workbench for STM32
(SW4STM32);
•
two-axis stepper motors with compatible voltage and current for the L6470;
•
an external power supply able to provide the right voltage for the
stepper motors used
;
•
(optional) a terminal emulator, serial console (i.e. PuTTY) to send commands via
USART.
