STorM32 v6.2 Board

General purpose boards specifically made for NT and TSTorM32 setups. STM32H7 based.

STorM32 v4.1 Board

General purpose board, like v3.3 but with on-board motor drivers.

STorM32 v3.3 Boards

General purpose boards specifically made for NT and TSTorM32 setups.

STorM32 Micro Series

Series of stackable boards with 20x20 mm hole pattern: Main board, NT Motor-Encoder module, NT Triple Motor module, NT Logger module.

changes in v3.3:

• board specifically designed for NT and T-STorM32
• no motor drivers on board
• 3 NT plugs to make it easy to connect several NT modules
• NT-X plug carrying also the battery voltage
• 5 V power rail on the NT bus, with sufficient "juice"
• Rx&Tx on NT bus swapped, to avoid cable crossing to connect with NT modules
• support of stacking with a "high-power" extension board
• MPU9250 on board, spi (no i2c anymore!)
• firmware update procedure via USB
• ESP8266 port for WIFI connectability
• CAN bus port
• no BOOT0 button, smaller RESET button
• 0402 size parts
• board size as small as I could get it with a 2 layer design: 40 x 25 mm
• mounting holes, 3 mm diameter, 35 mm apart

v1.x Boards

These boards will be phased out.
