STM32F Getting Started Tutorial Introduction The STM32F series of microcontrollers are made by ST and are one of the most powerful microcontrollers out there. These devices feature an ARM Cortex M CPU surrounded by a variety of very useful modules. They exist in different offerings namely: Value line, medium density, high density and XL density. They are also available from most online sellers at reasonable prices. Today I will explain the setup needed and how to proceed in making a project with these devices. In case the reader is not familiar with microcontrollers I would recommend having a look at this post: Introduction to microcontrollers Tools needed to build a project on a STM32FXXX Part 1 The Hardware In terms of hardware what's needed is a development board, two choices are possible for the development board either an OEM board pictured below, but do note they contain no programmer: and you might need an ST link programm...
