With STM32F401 Microcontroller for Leo Rover Platform
Facilitates seamless Raspberry Pi integration
Handles operating temperatures from -20°C to +50°C
Provides versatile GPIO and UART interfaces
Suits diverse robotics projects and prototypes
The Leo Rover LeoCore - Robot part serves as the central control unit for the Leo Rover platform, facilitating power distribution, motor control, and communication with an onboard Raspberry Pi computer. This board is equipped with an STM32F401 microcontroller, which ensures robust protection and precise motor control, making it an ideal choice for robotics research, educational purposes, and prototyping endeavors.
The board is designed to work seamlessly with a Raspberry Pi, providing both power and UART serial communication. It manages system readiness indicators, such as the battery LED, to ensure efficient operation. The LeoCore board is engineered to handle a wide range of operating temperatures, from -20°C to +50°C. It supports a power input range of 8 to 30 VDC, with built-in reverse polarity and overvoltage protection.
Motor control is facilitated through four PWM H-bridge motor outputs, each capable of handling peak currents of ±2.8 A. The board includes overcurrent and short-circuit protection to safeguard the motors and the system. Additionally, it provides encoder inputs for each motor, allowing for precise control and feedback.
The LeoCore board also features a UART communication interface, a debug port for firmware flashing, and a general-purpose I/O connector. It includes a controllable fan power output to maintain optimal operating conditions. The board's design ensures that it can support a variety of applications, making it a versatile component for any robotics project.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
