ST has development kit for STM32 F3 mcus
1 min read
STMicroelectronics has launched a new development platform for projects based on its STM32 F3 microcontrollers, which are now starting to enter volume production.
The STM32 F3 Discovery Kit features built in MEMS sensors with 9 degrees of freedom (DoF), which leverage the advanced signal processing and arithmetic capabilities of the new mcu family.
"ST's STM32 F3 microcontroller family and MEMS sensors are powerful products that, when combined, allow our customers to deliver competitively priced new designs offering outstanding performance and features," said Michel Buffa, general manager of ST's microcontroller division. "With our leading edge technologies, developers will be able to pack advanced sensing and embedded processing capabilities into devices as small as a wristwatch."
The kit includes a ready to use prototype board containing an STM32F303 mcu and associated chips, as well as indicator leds, push button controls, I/O pin headers and a usb connection for the host pc. All of the mcu pins are brought out to accessible points to aid testing and debugging.
The MEMS devices provided on the board are the L3GD20 3axis digital gyroscope and LSM303DLHC 6axis geomagnetic module from ST's MEMS portfolio of sensors and iNEMO inertial modules.
