The part number is 45502. It's kind of a sentimental journey. I still use EV3 from time to time to engage with younger audience. My favorite robot is MindCub3r. It is then high time we reverse engineered the EV3 large motor. And frankly speaking there is nothing to be reverse engineered there because its creators provided us with the official documentation. Thank you, LEGO engineers!
Tip
Note the two 3.3k resistors - they are there to protect the two Schmitt triggers by forming high-impedance (hi-Z) outputs. Not all logic level shifters can handle that. Choose your wisely or use STM32 FT GPIOs.
Don't worry 🙂 Just log in to MyST and hit Alt-K to generate /Drivers/CMCIS/ and /Drivers/STM32L4xx_HAL_Driver/ based on the .ioc file. After a couple of seconds your project will be ready for building.
