Development kit for STM32 MCUs
28 November 2012
Design Automation
STMicroelectronics has released an easy-access development platform for projects based on its new high-performance STM32 F3 microcontrollers, which are now starting to enter volume production.
The STM32 F3 Discovery Kit features built-in MEMS sensors – gyroscope and e-compass – with 9 degrees of freedom (DOF), enabling competitively priced sensor-fusion applications such as Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) by leveraging the advanced signal processing and arithmetic capabilities of the new microcontroller family.
Sensor fusion and powerful computational capabilities enable designers to realise advanced 3D motion sensing systems in applications such as mobile gaming, augmented reality, optical image stabilisation, portable navigation, robotics and industrial automation systems.
The discovery kit contains everything engineers need to start all types of projects using the STM32 F3 microcontroller. It includes a ready-to-use prototype board containing an STM32F303 microcontroller and associated chips, as well as indicator LEDs, pushbutton controls, I/O pin headers and a USB connection for the host PC.
All of the microcontroller pins are brought out to accessible points to aid testing and debugging. The MEMS devices provided on the board are the L3GD20 3-axis digital gyroscope and LSM303DLHC 6-axis geomagnetic module. The kit is compatible with STM32 software development environments from leading third-party vendors, including Altium, Atollic, IAR and Keil.
