Release Notes for X-CUBE-SPN1 firmware expansion for STM32Cube

Copyright 2014 STMicroelectronics

 


The X-CUBE-SPN1 firmware is an expansion for STM32Cube. It is dedicated to the handling of the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1, a motor driver expansion board. This expansion board is also compatible with Arduino UNO R3 connector layout, and is designed around the STMicroelectronics L6474H, a fully integrated microstepping stepper driver. It is possible to stack the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 expansion boards to drive up to three motors (one expansion board by motor).

This firmware package Version 1.5.0 is based on the STM32 Cube framework. It is compatible with STM32F4xx Nucleo, STM32F0xx Nucleo, STM32L0xx Nucleo and the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 boards.

It includes:
    • the L6474 library which provides the following features:
      • L6474 registers read, write
      • Nucleo and shields configuration (GPIOs, PWMs, IRQs…)
      • Speed profile configuration
      • Motion commands
      • FLAG interrupts handling (alarms reporting)
      • Microstepping handling
      • Daisy chaining handling
    • Use examples for configurations with 1, 2 or 3 motors (provided to have one X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 extension board by motor)
