Product details
Overview
STEVAL-EDUKIT01 from STMicroelectronics is an educational evaluation kit for real-time control systems, built around the NUCLEO-F401RE STM32F401RE development board and X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 L6474PD microstepping motor driver expansion board. It includes a rotary inverted pendulum, 12 V/1 A power supply, stepper motor, quadrature rotary encoder, and interlocking acrylic frame.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-EDUKIT01 datasheet, STEVAL-EDUKIT01 pinout, STEVAL-EDUKIT01 application, or STEVAL-EDUKIT01 equivalent, this kit supports hands-on learning of PID, State Space, and LQR control algorithms with real-time MATLAB interface, ARM Cortex-M4 embedded architecture, and high-speed encoder-based feedback motor control.
Technical Context
The kit implements a real-time inverted pendulum stabilization system using STM32F401RE's 84 MHz Cortex-M4 core with hardware FPU and 96 KB SRAM. Control execution relies on encoder-interrupt-driven sampling at ≥1 kHz and deterministic PWM generation via TIM2/TIM5 for L6474PD step/direction sequencing.
L6474PD provides 1/128 microstepping, overcurrent/voltage/thermal protection, and SPI-configurable torque/current profiles. The STSW-EDUKIT01 firmware integrates sensor fusion (encoder angle + derivative), closed-loop actuation, and USB CDC-based telemetry to MATLAB.

FAQ
Is STEVAL-EDUKIT01 compatible with STM32CubeIDE and MATLAB Simulink?
Yes. The kit is fully supported by STM32CubeIDE v1.10+ and includes preconfigured projects for firmware build/deploy. MATLAB R2020a+ connects via USB CDC to receive real-time telemetry and send updated controller parameters without reflash. Simulink Coder support enables automatic code generation targeting the NUCLEO-F401RE.
What control algorithms are implemented in STSW-EDUKIT01 firmware?
The STSW-EDUKIT01 firmware implements three validated control strategies: a tunable PID controller, a discrete-time State Space controller with full-state feedback, and an LQR-based State Space controller with Riccati-solved gain matrices. All include anti-windup, encoder noise filtering, and real-time gain update via serial command.
Does the kit include hardware for encoder signal conditioning?
No external signal conditioning is required. The quadrature encoder connects directly to STM32F401RE's GPIO pins configured for hardware QEI mode, leveraging internal digital filters and index pulse capture. The L6474PD's integrated current regulation and decay mode control eliminate need for external gate drivers or current sense amplifiers.
Can the acrylic frame be modified or extended for custom experiments?
Yes. The interlocking acrylic frame uses standardized 3 mm slot-and-tab joints and M3 mounting holes aligned to common prototyping standards. CAD files (.dxf) and assembly instructions are provided in the ST Motor Control Education Portal, enabling mechanical extension for multi-pendulum, dual-axis, or vision-augmented configurations.
