Which STM32 MCU would be suitable for a smart commercial floor-cleaning machine?
Hello,
I am exploring the possibility of developing a smart floor-cleaning machine for commercial environments.
The initial concept may include:
- Motor control for brushes and wheels
- Water-level and pressure sensors
- Battery monitoring
- Obstacle detection
- Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity
- Basic usage and maintenance logging
My background is in the floor-cleaning industry rather than embedded-system development. Our current business website is https://floorcleaningsydney.com.au/, which provides context about the types of floor-cleaning work and environments the machine may be used in.
Which STM32 MCU family would be a practical starting point for this type of prototype?
Would an STM32G4 be appropriate because of its motor-control features, or would another STM32 family be easier for an initial prototype?
I would also appreciate recommendations for a suitable STM32 development board and motor-control expansion board.
