Getting started with X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 low voltage stepper motor

driver expansion board based on STSPIN220 for STM32 Nucleo

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 is a low voltage stepper motor driver expansion board based on the

STSPIN220 monolithic low voltage driver for low voltage stepper motors. It represents an affordable,

easy-to-use solution for driving low voltage stepper motors in your STM32 Nucleo project, implementing

portable motor driving applications such as thermal printers, robotics and toys.

It includes a stepper driver able to operate in low voltage (battery) scenarios, allowing zero consumption

states. The device implements current control with fixed OFF time and a maximum 1/256 microstep

resolution.

The X-NUCLEO-IHM06A1 is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector and supports the addition

of other STM32 expansion boards with a single STM32 Nucleo board. You can also mount the ST

morpho connector.

2 Getting started

2.1 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.

2.3.1 Hardware connections and equipment

A suitable external power supply or external battery for the stepper motor used,

connected between J1 connector pin 5 (Vin) and pin6 (ground)

A secondary supply from one of the following sources:

An external power supply providing 3.3 V (recommended), connected between

TP3 (+VDD) and TP1 (ground).

If a secondary power supply is not available, you can connect the VDD net to the

Vin supply voltage by adding the R2 resistor (not mounted by default); in this

configuration, Vin must be lower than 5 V.

In both cases, the R4 resistor must be replaced with a 10 kΩ resistor

(recommended value) for a VDD below 2.5 V.

A waveform generator providing the signal step clock, connected between TP4 (CLK

test point) and TP1 (GND); refer to the STSPIN220 datasheet for amplitude and

frequency limits

Stepper motor connect to J1 motor phase connector (A+, A-, B+, B-).

2.3.2 Operating mode

You can adjust the following parameters:

Step mode: set the desired step mode via the S1, S2, S3 and S4 switches (refer to

the step mode selection table in the STSPIN220 datasheet)

Motor torque (according motor requirements): using the R35 trimmer, you can set the

voltage value at REF input of STSPIN220 (the maximum value is 0.5 V with VDD =

3.3 V).

Motor speed: you can change this parameter through the step clock signal frequency.
