Overview

Open429I-C is an STM32 development board designed for the STM32F429IGT6 microcontroller, consists of the mother board and the MCU core board Core429I.

The Open429I-C supports further expansion with various optional accessory boards for specific application. The modular and open design makes it the ideal for starting application development with STM32 series microcontrollers.

22. PL2303: USB to UART convertor
23. LEDs: convenient for indicating I/O status and/or program running state
24. PL2303 TX-LED / RX-LED
25. 12MHz crystal: for PL2303
26. Joystick: five positions
27. WAKE UP button: used as regular button, and/or wake up the STM32 MCU from sleep
28. USB to UART jumper
29. LED jumper
    • short the jumper to connect to default I/Os used in example code
    • open the jumper to connect to custom I/Os via jumper wires
30. Button/Joystick jumper
    • short the jumper to connect to default I/Os used in example code
    • open the jumper to connect to custom I/Os via jumper wires
