#1 Say NO to ARDUINO! New ARM STM32 Microcontroller Programming and Circuit Building Series

[@AshishVerma_Awesome]

i started my embedded journey with your Avr videos now i am working in Automotive domain with tricore CPU's, thanks alot , its good to see youtube recommended me this video.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

I am happy to know that it was recommended as well. Very cool.

Today I found this video, after few seconds I started thinking that I have had heard this voice. I have learned from your videos. Hopefully will learn from these as well. Thank you.

[@lohikarhu734]

hi Patrick; i remember learning the real "metal" of what "software" really is...we used a PDP-11/05 manual and did cycle by cycle, bit by bit, analysis of memory cycles, instruction fetches, instruction decoding (you know, the bits that control ALU Functions, indexed addressing...), and i suddenly 'got it'! Software is just reconfiguring hardware, cycle by cycle, "steering" addresses and data.., it was a real "moment", since i had been developing digital logic for about 7 years, at that poimt, and suddenly "connected" the software/hardware worlds! best o' luck with books and tutorials!

[@markday3145]

With STM32, you can get Arduino-like development boards. Some (like ST's Nucleo-64 boards) have Arduino-compatible headers. And the Arduino framework has good support for STM32. Hobbyists can use them for better performance and better functionality. You can experiment and prototype with the development boards (including Arduino, which has drivers for lots of peripherals), and then design and build a custom board once you've settled enough of the details.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Thnaks for the information.

Hi Patrick, your deep dive approach to explaining uC theory in a practical context has been an absolute gamechanger! As a mechanical engineer with a minimal digital electronics background, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge on this forum and making this subject accessible to all of us! One question: Do you have any suggestions on how to learn ( or do you have plans to do some walkthroughs :) ) about how device drivers are written? I am personally interested to learn more about how to interface with the MPU6050 but find it to be a relatively complex component to wrap my head around. Thanks and looking forward to checking out the book!

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Thanks for the kind words. The MPU6050 should not pose a problem for you since it uses the i2c (I squared C) protocol. I explained that in my previous ARM series, and I detailed how I2C works. You should take a look at those videos. I will go back through I2C in this new series, but it may be a little while before I get to it. Here is the first I2 video from that series #57: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joSVXmxmfq9qocU. The others are numbered 58, 59, and 60

[@andrewandrosow4797]

I said NO to AVR 8 years ago. Then I tried to realize a frequency meter with 1Hz resolution up to 10MHz. These AVR chip hasn't 32bit hardware timer - so it was very problematic to realize such an equipment)). I tried to use assembler, but I had not had any success. In addition, prices on STM32 chips were very attractive. There was 32bit CPU, 16kBytes of RAM, 32-bit timer, DMA !. But it was really difficult to understand how to program stm32 - a documentation has more than 1000 pages. There are several clock buses. I can compare STM32 with 80486 motherboard (without video card surely). But there you can be running digital signal processing in real time (in speech band up to 4kHz) and realize digital filters.

I'm personally not a big fan of shields for the Arduino or Raspberry Pi and try not to use them if i don't have to. Arduino is nice, though, because it makes it easy to test things via speed of compiling and uploading code without issue and it's availability to use a breadboard, then you can use the Arduino as an ISP programmer which is super convenient if you don't have the electronics on hand to program another Atmega chip. Clearly the ARM chips are going to be much better, though. The chip on the Arduino Mega is 8-bit, I believe, while the ARM chip you have I think is 32-bit. Also surface mount components scare me :'( my hands are shakey af. Gotta check out the development boards though, that's super cool!

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Thanks. The surface mount is not a big deal if you use solder paste to position the part and let the surface tension and viscosity hold the chip in place while you heat it. You can also purchase breakout boards with the chip already soldered. This is only for prototyping. When your prototype is complete and the PCB is developed, China will be doing all the soldering. Enjoy the journey of getting into ARM uCs. They are no more difficult than Arduino.

[@bigwendigo2253]

@@PatrickHoodDaniel You know, I haven't looked into services that mount all of the components for you, that's interesting. I know JLCPCB does it, but I'm not familiar with the prices. Their PCBs seem pretty reasonable. Yeah, a breakout board would absolutely add to the cost if you're trying to order tens or hundreds of PCBs, not really crucial for the final product, only prototyping. Anyways, yeah! The only ARM experience I have is with the RPI, they are really exciting chips though! I'd like to practice some surface mount soldering, but I'd also like to get a soldering microscope and a few other tools before i start practicing.

[@d.jensen5153]

I love ARM microcontrollers but I'm no fan of ARM IDEs. The Arduino IDE has shown me that I don't need Keil, IAR, or any of the Eclipse derivatives. To me they are all unnecessarily big and full of extraneous complexity. Thankfully the Arduino IDE can accommodate just about anything...from M0 to Teensy 4.

I can't agree with the price point, at least in my region, a single STM32 chip could cost around $5 - $10 while an ESP32 costs just $2, ESP01/8266 cost almost $1, and an Atmel chip costs $2. I think what makes STM32 great is it's reliability, flexibility, and quality makes it really the default option for industrial application. Though ESP32s are close to compare to STM32, i think STM32s had certain qualities that ESP32 don't have, such as flexibility and features (interrupts).

Forgot to mention that STM also offers Nucleo development boards for a lot of their chips so you don't have to make your own breakout board but can just buy a Nucleo (with built-in STM programmer) and start from there which speeds up the development process.

I started using the AVR as early as Atmel started transitioning from the MCS-51 family, which I was using before that point. I was on assembly so it was a bit harder for me to switch over. No worries, I've been using STM32 for over a decade, using C of course. The major drawback with the AVR isn't just in the price and resources, it's also STUPID SLOW! 20 years ago a 16MHz system clock was sweet, but it was an 8-bit architecture. Now the STM32 comes with 4x the core bandwidth, easily reaching 72MHz system frequency, with the F4 and H7 series I've been using, they are running at 180MHz and 480MHz respectively. I guess that's why people started trying to run the Arduino framework on the STM32 or various Pi baords. Redesigning PCB is fine, you can shed enough parts to make an Ardnuino more compact. Yet still, I never got used to using that system. Never tested it with any benchmark tools either, but I generally don't trust it with efficiency.

I'll use the ST development tools if I have to, in case PlatformIO does not recognize the minimal STM32 chip setup in your kit. I guess I would then transfer the C++ code from PlatformIO to the Eclipse setup for final testing with your hardware setup. Thanks for all your effort to provide quality instructional material. Much appreciated.

will touching the pins with bare hands damage the microcontroller? does the stm32 chip have ESD protection

First time in a long time since I watched a video that made scene. THANKS

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Much appreciated. I have many more coming.

[@daixtr]

I am your new follower now. I am curious on what are your thoughts on using Rust for STM32?

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

@@daixtr thanks for the follow. I haven't put any thought towards using Rust with STM32. I am not familiar enough with Rust, but I hear that is it a great language. I like C/C++ because of the low level nature of the language. Do you believe Rust will provide a similar feature?

Thank you sooo much!

[@sinazamani7077]

very amazing video thank you so much

Great projet ! I bought your book. Do you mind asking why not using vscode for the editors which tend to be the most common used IDE nowdays and the bluepill which is a well known board used as well with arduino ?

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

After what happened to CoIDE back a few years ago with the lack of support, I want to use a development platform that will be supported indefinitely. As this IDE STM32CubeIDE is supported by the chipmaker. The use of VSCode does intrigue me, so I will look into it.

[@glewiss6696]

@@PatrickHoodDaniel Ok thanks I understand. What about the bluepill that many people use with arduino programme? Maybe later on. Anyway It'll be really interesting with the F0.

How to program and make controllers according to use for production pr development according to need

[@Melvs_Cuts]

Waiting for Volume 2 of this book . When is it coming out Sir ?.

[@negvorsa]

I think I'm lucky!! I was thinking its time to switch to RISCV or ARM ... Can't wait... BTW I started AVR from your video its a great memories to remember...

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Awesome. the AVR series is a great primer on this series.

[@KeesCPLUSPLUS]

Cool video. I learned programming and this seems like a really cool next step. always loves embedded systems.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Thanks. Enjoy the journey!!

Hello Patrick, your videos are grate and more useful for ppl who want's true knowledge of micro-controller programming from L0 level. grate job 👍. i have one query, Can we use one programming device to program any CORTEX MCU's from different manufacturer's;As programming protocol are the same. for a instance , Pickit 4 supports CORTEX SWD protocol , So can i use same for STM32 programming ? & vice versa ?

[@SebastianGarcia-go4tx]

Purchased your book and liked it. When does volume 2 come out ?

[@huseyinyurdakul5226]

When will the new video come :)) We are excited!

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

I am planning to make these videos available weekly as a maximum duration as a worst case. I have been wanting to spend more time on making these videos so I can transition more into ARM microcontrollers and robotics and less with CNC since robotics is my chief interest and always has been. Thanks for the excitement!
