Motor control kit for low-voltage three-phase DC brushless motors

A versatile motor control kit based on X-NUCLEO-IHM07M1 and NUCLEO-F302R8 boards, the STMicroelectronics P-NUCLEO-IHM001 Motor Control Nucleo pack is now available from Mouser stock. The motor control solution for low-voltage three-phase DC brushless motors is based on the L6230 driver and STM32F302R8 MCU. The L6230 driver is a DMOS fully-integrated device for three-phase brushless PMSM motors, with integrated over-current and thermal protection. The STM32F302R8 is a 32-bit microcontroller based on a high-performance ARM Cortex -M4 32-bit RISC core, with floating point unit (FPU), operating at a frequency of up to 72MHz and embedding an advanced analog peripheral set. The X-NUCLEOIHM07M1 board is fully configurable and ready to support different closed loop control, FOC or 6-step, based on sensorless or sensor mode. It's compatible with three shunts or single shunt for current sense measuring. The NUCLEO-F302R8 board provides an affordable and flexible way to try out new concepts and build prototypes with the STM32 MCU. An external power supply (8V min; 12V max) is required to power the kit. It does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and programmer.
