Overview

Stmbl 5.0 is an open-source printed circuit board by freakontrol, from the freakontrol/stmbl repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 99.8 × 99.8 mm with 432 parts on 254 nets, routed with 3,054 tracks and 1,758 vias.

It is built around the STM32F405VGT6, SN65176BD and IKCM30F60GDXKMA1, with the RT8259GE, LM358 and USBLC6-4SC6 among its other parts. Its parts include 175 resistors, 147 capacitors, 29 ICs, 22 diodes and 16 connectors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

STMBL

This Repository is a fork of the original project STMBL, an open-source servo drive designed for Retrofitting CNC machines and Robots. It supports Industrial AC and DC servos.

You can read the documentation to learn more about this project.

We are proposing a new revision of the project making significant improvements and updates:

  • H-bridge
  • Power connectors
  • Bulk Capacitor
  • Heat dissipation components and case
  • Other obsolete components

H-Bridge

First we needed to replace the original and obsolete H-bridge IRAM256 with a more powerful and easily available one. We chose the Infineon IKCM30F60GD capable of peak output currents up to 60Amps instead of 30 of the original bridge.

Upgrading Power connectors

During our tests with earlier prototypes we noticed that the original power connectors overheated and even got damaged when the board drove big loads.

image

So we decided to replace power connectors, both HV DC input and 3 Phase output with golden plated XT60PW and MR60PW connectors from Amass®, designed for high current up to 60Amps.

Bulk Capacitor

We have relocated big bulk capacitors outside in a rectifier module as close as possible to the drives. Instead internally we kept a more compact MKP Polypropylene snubber capacitor for decoupling the bridge HV power supply.

Heat dissipation components and case

We also optimized heat dissipation components and layout, reducing overall volume by half compared to the original design.

Other obsolete components

there were several other components that have been replaced because they have become obsolete:

Questions

How big is the Stmbl 5.0 PCB?

It measures 99.8 × 99.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Stmbl 5.0 use?

432 parts, built around the STM32F405VGT6, SN65176BD, IKCM30F60GDXKMA1 and RT8259GE. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Stmbl 5.0 KiCad files?

From the freakontrol/stmbl repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/kicad/v5.0/stmbl_5.0.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/kicad/v5.0/cmd.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stmbl 5.0 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
