Hardware and software requirements

Using STM32 Nucleo boards with the X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 expansion board requires the

following software and hardware:



1 x Windows PC (XP, Vista 7 ,Win 8, Win 10 ) to install the software package



1 x Low voltage stepper motor driver expansion board (X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1)



1 x STM32 Nucleo development board (NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-F334R8 or

NUCLEO-F030R8 or NUCLEO-L053R8)



1 x USB type A to mini-B USB cable to connect the STM32 Nucleo board to the PC



X-CUBE-SPN6 software package (available on www.st.com)



1 x IDE among:



IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM)



Keil microcontroller development kit (MDK-ARM)



system workbench for STM32 Nucleo project



1 x stepper motor with compatible voltage and current ratings for the STSPIN220

driver



1 x external power supply or external battery suitable for the stepper motor used.

2.2

Using the X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 expansion board with the

STM32 Nucleo board

The X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 board is compatible with following STM32 Nucleo development

boards:



NUCLEO-F401RE



NUCLEO-F334R8



NUCLEO-F030R8



NUCLEO-L053R8

To start your project:

1.

Check the jumper position based on your configuration (see Section 5: "Hardware

description and configuration").

2.

Connect the X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 with the STM32 Nucleo board through Arduino

UNO R3 Connectors (CN5, CN6, CN8, CN9).

3.

Supply the board through the input 5 (Vin) and 6 (ground) of the J1 connector. The D5

(red) LED turns on.

4.

Develop your application using the sample applications bundled with the X-CUBE-

SPN6 software package.

Further STSPIN220 and STM32 Nucleo support material is available on www.st.com.

2.3

Using the X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 expansion board alone

The X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 expansion board is able to drive a low voltage stepper motor

without an STM32 Nucleo board.
