The technical specifications of various STorM32 boards are presented. For suppliers/vendors please refer to Where to buy STorM32 boards. For a detailed description of the various connectors on the boards see Pins and Connectors.
"Original" STorM32 Boards
At present, the versions v1.1, v1.2, and v1.3 are in use (v0.17/v1.0 boards are deprecated). Their commonality is a resistive voltage regulator and the TC4452 motor drivers.
STorM32-BGC v1.3
|
|
STorM32-BGC v1.2
Differences to the v1.3 board:
- voltage regulator: smaller SOT223 package
- only 2 auxiliary ports
STorM32-BGC v1.1
Differences to the v1.3 board:
- no Futaba S-bus support
- Spektrum satellite is supported, but no extra Spektrum connector on board
- no extra USB voltage protection diode
- voltage regulator: smaller SOT223 package
- only 2 auxiliary ports
WARNING: The pins of connector I2C#2 are in reverse order to those of connector I2C, which implies also reversed voltage polarity. Pay attention to that before connecting a second IMU to the I2C#2 port.
Descendants
The STorM32 boards listed here are based on/derived from the layout of the "original" board designed by Martinez and OlliW, but modified in some ways.
GLB STorM32 v1.31
|
|
Witespy STorM32-BGC v1.1 Mosfet Version
|
|
STorM32 v1.32
|
|
Comment: This board cannot really be recommended; it's probably better to get a v1.31, which tends to be cheaper and especially offers a switching voltage regulator.
Third-Party Boards
The terms of usage of the STorM32 project allows, and in fact encourages, making own hardware, for both DIY and commercial purposes, without restrictions.

Comment: This board is suitable only for 2S (see [[1]]), with higher voltages it gets quite hot and may malfunction. Read also this: [[2]]. The board can only be flashed with a ST-Link adapter via SWD, it cannot be flashed via the "usual" procedure. Many pins/ports are not available. Overall, this board cannot be recommended, except for special applications.

Comment: The info given on some pages is definitely wrong in some aspects. What we know so far (see also here and followup posts):
- DRV8313 motor drivers do not allow 2S operation
- it is not clear which motor drivers this board uses, or if it in fact has motor drivers at all
- only the RC port is available
- SBus is not supported
- it can be doubted that a BT module can be installed on board
