Universal Shields Adapter for STM32 Nucleo 64 boards

Universal Adapter for Nucleo 64 boards that supports various expansion boards including:

• STM32 Nucleo pinsas a mother
• Arduino shields, including ICSP(SPI) pins
• TI BoosterPack (LaunchPad) 40-pin
• 2 x Atmel Xplained Pro expansion boards

Why?

STM32 Nucleo boards are awesome development boards to start a microcontroller project. However, ther is a caveat: it does not have variaous expansion boards. Even though Nucleo boards have Arduino-compatible header pins, a problem still aries here:

Nucleo boards do not have Arduino ICSP/SPI pins!

Absence of ICSP pins losses supports for various arduino shields. So I decided to make an adapter shield to support for Arduino shields. Making this adapter I also added some headers for other companies expansion boards like TI's BoosterPack.

I believe this adapter will remove nasty wiring jobs when you work with expansion boards.

Tested expansion boards

Although this adapter will support most of Arduino shields and expansion boards we are always unexpected things making it not to supports some boards. So I attach tested expansion boards here

• ATWINC1500 Xplained Pro

Please email me (kbumsik@gmail.com) or PR if you tested other boards.

External Libraries Used

I used the following libraries:

• KiCad Library
