ModuCard Base Module

This repository provides a template design for creating modules in the ModuCard system. Each module is designed to seamlessly interface with the ModuCard backplane, enabling a modular and expandable robotics platform.

Used tools:

Features:

Power section

• Input voltage: 12V from the backplane.
• Output voltage: 3.3V @ 0.5A.

ST-LINK

• Built-in ST-LINK connected to the backplane via USB interface.
• Enables programming and debugging of the onboard MCU.

CAN interface

• Two independent CAN buses: CAN1 and CAN2.
• Both connect with the backplane to facilitate communication between the onboard MCU and other modules in the system.

How to Create a new module from this template

1. Create a new repository
2. Copy files from this repository to your new repository.
3. Rename the files:
   • base-module.kicad_pcb → <your-board-name>.kicad_pcb
   • base-module.kicad_sch → <your-board-name>.kicad_sch
   • base-module.kicad_pro → <your-board-name>.kicad_pro
4. Open the project in KiCad.
5. Update page settings in the schematic and PCB:
   • Change the Title to ModuCard <your project name>.
   • Edit Comment 2 to include your name in the <author> field.
6. Enjoy implementing your project!
