Description

The STM8/128-MCKIT starter kit is an integrated

system designed to provide a complete, ready-to-

use motor control application developed around

the STMicroelectronics STM8 microcontroller.

This starter kit is particularly suited to drive 3-

phase brushless motors (either AC induction or

permanent magnet types) and demonstrates how

effectively the STM8 microcontrollers can be used

in real-world motor control applications.

However, the main advantage of the STM8/128-

MCKIT is that you can use it to create your own

applications and re-program the STM8

microcontroller. You can develop your own

applications using the dedicated software libraries

provided in the starter kit in conjunction with a

third-party IDE and C compiler.
