Stepper motor driver expansion board based on L6474 for

STM32 Nucleo

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 is a stepper motor driving board based on the L6474.

It provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for driving stepper motors in your STM32 Nucleo

project.

The advanced current control of the L6474 and the complete set of protections guarantee high

performance and robustness.

The X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector on the ST Morpho

connector.

More boards of the same type can be stacked easily to drive up to three stepper motors with a single

STM32 Nucleo board.

1 Getting started

The X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 expansion board is a stepper motor driver covering a wide

range of applications.

The maximum ratings are:

Power stage supply voltage (VS) from 8 V to 45 V

Motor phase current up to 3 A rms

To start your project with the board:

1. Check the jumper position in accordance with your configuration (see ).

2. Connect the board to the STM32 Nucleo board with the connector:

a. Arduino UNO R3 for the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1.

b. ST Morpho for the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A.

Up to three expansion boards can be stacked on the same STM32 Nucleo board, as

described in Section 2.2: "Multi motor configuration".

1. Supply the board through input 1 (VS) and 2 (ground) of the connector CN1.

2. The power OK (green) and fault (red) LEDs turn on.

3. Develop your application using the examples provided with the firmware library.

Further support material is available on the L6474 (www.st.com/easyspin) and STM32

Nucleo web pages (www.st.com/stm32nucleo).

2.1 Selecting the chip select and clock lines of the SPI

The chip select and the clock lines of the SPI interface can be selected through dedicated

resistors as indicated in Table 3: "Chip select line selection" and Table 4: "Chip select line

selection".

When the alternative clock line is selected (CN9 pin 4, CN10 pin 31) the PWM2 signal is no

longer available for multi-motor configurations (see Section 2.2: "Multi motor

configuration").

2.2 Multi motor configuration

The expansion boards can be stacked on a single STM32 Nucleo board in order to drive up

to three stepper motors (one for each motor).

The configuration can be changed by mounting the necessary resistors from R1 to R12 as

listed in the Table 5. The other resistors are not mounted.

By default, the stepper driver board is configured for a single motor setup, so board

configurations for multi-motor setups must be changed before stacking the boards on the

STM32 Nucleo.

If the alternative SPI clock line is selected (see Section 2.1: "Selecting the chip select and

clock lines of the SPI") the PWM2 step clock is no longer available and the multi-motor

setup is limited to two motors maximum.

The Table 6: "Multi-motor setup with alternative SPI clock line" shows the proper

configuration in this case.
