ST X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 Manuale utente

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 expansion board is based on the S2-LP ultra-low power RF transceiver and operates in the 868 MHz

ISM frequency band.

The X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 interfaces with the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller via SPI connections and GPIO pins. You can

change some of the GPIOs by mounting or removing the resistors.

The expansion board is compatible with ST morpho and Arduino UNO R3 connectors.

2.2 Hardware and software requirements

To use the X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 expansion board with STM32 Nucleo development boards, connect the boards

as shown below.

Figure 2. X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 expansion board connected to an STM32 Nucleo development board

The interconnection between the STM32 Nucleo and the X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 is designed to allow the use of

any STM32 Nucleo board, although complete testing has only been performed on the NUCLEO-L053R8,

NUCLEO-F401RE and NUCLEO-L152RE boards hosting ultra-low power STM32 microcontrollers.

The minimum hardware and software requirements are listed below:

• a PC/laptop with Microsoft Windows (7 and above) to install the software package (X-CUBE-SUBG1)

• a type A USB to mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC/laptop

• 128 MB of RAM

• Approximately 40 MB of hard disk space for the firmware

• Approximately 15 MB of hard disk space for the wM-Bus GUI

The use of the wM-Bus concentrator with the GUI requires additional boards to be connected to the PC. The GUI

can be used to check the wM-Bus communication protocol.

2.3 Board setup

Step 1. Check that the jumper on JP1 connector is connected to provide the required voltage to the board

devices.

Step 2. Connect the X-NUCLEO-S2868A2 to the STM32 Nucleo board as shown in Figure 2.

Step 3. Power the STM32 Nucleo development board using the Mini-B USB cable.

Step 4. Program the firmware in the STM32 on the STM32 Nucleo development board using the firmware

sample provided.

Step 5. Preset the reset button on the STM32 Nucleo development board.

The evaluation kit is ready-to-use.
