# Board - Sparky
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Sparky is a very low cost and very powerful board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 3 hardware serial ports.
|
|
|
|
|
* USB (can be used at the same time as the serial ports).
|
|
|
|
|
* 10 PWM outputs.
|
|
|
|
|
* Dedicated PPM/SerialRX input pin.
|
|
|
|
|
* MPU9150 I2C Acc/Gyro/Mag
|
|
|
|
|
* Baro

|
|
* Softserial - though having 3 hardware serial ports makes it a little redundant.

# Flashing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Via USART1

|
|
|
Short the bootloader pads and flash using configurator or the st flashloader tool via USART1.

|
|
|
Unshort bootloader pads after flashing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Via SWD
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the bottom of the board there is an SWD header socket onto switch a JST-SH connector can be soldered.
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have SWD connected you can use the st-link or j-link tools to flash a binary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See Sparky schematic for CONN2 pinouts.

## TauLabs bootloader
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flashing cleanflight will erase the TauLabs bootloader, this is not a problem and can easily be restored using the st flashloader tool.

# Serial Ports
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Value | Identifier | RX | TX | Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
| ----- | ------------ | --------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1 | USB VCP | RX (USB) | TX (USB) | |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 | USART1 | RX / PB7 | TX / PB6 | Conn1 / Flexi Port |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3 | USART2 | RX / PA3 | PWM6 / PA2 | On RX is on INPUT header. Best port for Serial RX input. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4 | USART3 | RX / PB11 | TX / PB10 | RX/TX is on one end of the 6-pin header about the PWM outputs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
USB VSP *can* be used at the same time as other serial ports (unlike Naze32).
