1
Procurement & Preparation
- Source and inventory all required components: AP2112K-3.3 voltage regulator, STM32F411CEU6 MCU development board, Bosch BME280 sensor module, and Texas Instruments DRV8833 motor driver.
- Prepare the custom PCB and verify trace continuity for the 3.3V power rail, I2C bus (SDA, SCL), and motor control PWM lines using a multimeter.
2
Hardware Assembly & Wiring
- Solder the AP2112K-3.3 voltage regulator and its input/output decoupling capacitors to the PCB, ensuring the stable 3.3V power rail is correctly established.
- Mount and solder the STM32F411CEU6 core processor module onto the designated footprint, connecting the 3.3V power rail and GND connections.
- Wire and solder the Bosch BME280 sensor module to the MCU using the I2C interface (connecting SDA, SCL, 3.3V, and GND).
- Integrate the Texas Instruments DRV8833 motor driver module, connecting PWM1, PWM2, GPIO_FAULT, 3.3V, and GND signals to the STM32F411CEU6.
3
Firmware Setup
- Install STM32CubeIDE and configure the STM32F411CEU6 clock tree for 100MHz operation, setting up peripheral pins for I2C and PWM output.
- Develop and flash firmware drivers for the Bosch BME280 via I2C to poll temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure data.
- Implement timer-based PWM generation (PWM1, PWM2) and fault monitoring (GPIO_FAULT) routines for the DRV8833 motor driver control loop.
4
Testing & Calibration
- Perform a power-on smoke test while monitoring the 3.3V rail output from the AP2112K-3.3 using a digital multimeter and oscilloscope.
- Verify sensor data acquisition by reading temperature, humidity, and pressure values from the BME280 over the I2C interface via serial terminal debug output.
- Test motor actuation and fault handling by sending test PWM signals (PWM1, PWM2) to the DRV8833 and monitoring the GPIO_FAULT feedback line.

System Architecture
Power Topology: Power enters via the LDO regulator (AP2112K-3.3) to generate a regulated 3.3V rail. Bulk capacitance (10uF) is placed at the regulator output, and 0.1uF high-frequency decoupling capacitors are placed near all VDD/VDDA pins of the MCU, sensor, and driver ICs.
