The educational EV hardware boards are designed to be focused in three unique areas - Battery Technology, Power Electronics and Motor Control. They allow you to perform experiments and learn hands-on. Most are designed to fit into the palm of your hand and and can be connected to your computer via the provided USB cable. You can then program either the STM32 development board, or the Arduino development board to control the functions of these boards. These boards are designed in the shield form factor to fit right into the STM32 Nucleo series of boards or the Arduino Uno boards. So, your chosen base development board along with the MakerMax Electric Vehicle Hardware boards are a perfect combination to test, learn, research various aspects of the Electric Vehicle powertrain, or even stationary storage, telecom, aerospace and consumer electronics applications.
