SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-G491RE Development Board | STM32G491RET6U
Description
SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-G491RE Development Board offers an affordable, highly flexible way for users to experiment with new concepts and build functional prototypes using various combinations of performance and power-consumption features. Built around the powerful STM32G491RET6U 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller in an LQFP64 package, the Nucleo-64 board supports external SMPS (on compatible models) to significantly reduce power consumption during Run mode.
Designed for effortless expandability, the board includes ARDUINO Uno V3 connectivity support and ST morpho headers, allowing users to easily interface specialized shields and modules. It comes complete with an on-board ST-LINK debugger/programmer, meaning no separate probe is required. Backed by comprehensive free software libraries and examples available within the STM32Cube MCU Package, it provides an out-of-the-box solution for rapid embedded prototyping.
Key Features
- STM32G491RET6U Microcontroller: High-performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core housed in a compact LQFP64 package.
- Integrated ST-LINK Debugger: On-board debugger/programmer equipped with USB re-enumeration capability for easy programming and debugging.
- Arduino Uno V3 Connectivity: Standardized shield headers allowing seamless compatibility with Arduino-compatible hardware modules.
- ST Morpho Extension Headers: Extended pin headers providing full access to all microcontroller I/Os for advanced prototyping.
- Flexible Power Supply: Operates via ST-LINK, USB VBUS, or external power sources.
