Daughterboard

Currently we have two different breakout/baughter boards.

SMD & Molex

Another option with Molex connectors, levelshifters for I2C and SPI, as well as connectors for Spektrum satellites and a can phy would be:

Currently under testing, eagle files are coming, when its completely finished and airworthy :-)

THT

Target for this board is to be a ultra low cost THT daughterboard which should provide as many functions as possible.

Notes

  • Tall screw terminals can touch the THT solder joints from the discovery board. No electrical but a mechanical contact can appear. Don't force both pcb's all the way together.
  • Only mount the components needed.
  • If IR_Sensors are used used, maybe the diodes shouldn't be mounted and the voltage divider should be changed.

Servo Power options

  • External power source (for digital servos, with higher voltage).
  • Two solder jumpers to connect the servo power rail to the 5V net.

The servo rail also powers the RC receiver (PPM and Spektrum), take care of that if this rail runs on a higher voltage than 5V.
Servo and 5V net share the same GND ! (could cause problems if two different BEC are used from the same battery e.g.)

Firmware Flashing

FLASH_MODE=STLINK is set as default

STM32F4 Discovery can mainly be programmed in two different ways:

STLINK

  • with onboard STLinkV2 over SWD
  • required hardware: usb to mini USB cable
  • required software: st_flash and st_util from Texane
  • more information: STLink page

DFU-UTIL

  • with the MCU native (embedded in rom) DFU USB bootloader over the micro USB AB connector
  • required hardware: USB to micro and USB to mini usb cable
  • required external software: dfu-util
  • push MCU in DFU mode: connect mini(for power) and micro USB to PC, connect pin BOOT0 with 3V, press reset button(LED LD7 should light up now), disconnect BOOT0
  • more information: DFU page
