Getting started with the X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 low voltage 3-phase

brushless DC motor driver expansion board based on STSPIN230

Introduction

The X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 is a low voltage three-phase brushless DC motor driver expansion board

based on STSPIN230 for STM32 Nucleo. It is an affordable and easy-to-use solution with motor driver

operation in low voltage battery scenarios, allowing zero consumption state (such as in thermal printers,

robotics, toys, etc..).

The X-NUCLEO-IHM11M1 is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 and the ST morpho connectors and

supports the addition of other boards to a single STM32 Nucleo board.

Furthermore, the board is designed for six-step and FOC algorithms.
