Start setting up your prototyping environment if you haven't already. If you notice a motion blur in the video, I am trying 4k video for the first time and I am still learning how to use my new camera.

[@domainmojo2162]

I'm not an engineer, but I'm nearing the end of a product prototype that will be many times more cost-effective than the imported options that are available to local individuals and companies. All thanks to you! *Thank You* !

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Wow!! That's incredible. I am happy and proud to be of such help. Keep the momentum!

[@MrLRankin2]

Oh you've made an impact alright. I watched your entire AVI series, and applied what I learned to the PIC micro-controller. I have recently decided to program the ARM7 microcontroller in assembler and C, using CPULATOR, so I will be watching the ARM microcontroller series also, as the ARM microcontroller seems a little different. We have similar backgrounds also as I am also self taught. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

[@shahzaibshamim6524]

[@billiniowa9123]

Just wanted to say hi. Im a retired C programmer. I do the ARM for a hobby. Great job on your video's. Kerp up tge good work. Ps: i use the stm32CubeProgrammer as my monitor system

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Nice, thank you so much. I will take a look at the STM32CubeProgrammer. Do you ever use STM Studio or STM32CubeMonitor?

[@billiniowa9123]

@@PatrickHoodDaniel The programmer will show all the registers and you set/reset any bits just like your source code would do, so you can see whether or not it works without any code

[@yousefabdelsamie5983]

Hi Patrick, Thank you for this series. The effort you put in is much appreciated. I just do not understand how can I can reuse the chip in another PCB if it is already soldered in the programming PCB.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Thanks for the kind words. The chip in the PCB is only for prototyping and ensuring the program and circuit work correctly. It is intended as the first phase just before you go with a PCB for the real project and to go into production. The breakout PCB with the chip can be reused for a different prototype when that first project is completed.

[@Baraka-yl2dp]

Please don't forget to number your videos so that those who come in late can follow the progression accordingly.

[@AKKJ420]

Thanks for the videos. I have been binge watching all your videos. I was wondering can you program/flash/debug NXP LPC - ARM based microcontrollers with ST link?

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

You need to use open-source tools like OpenOCD (Open On-Chip Debugger) which supports a wide range of debug probes and chips. I haven't tried, but should work. It's not the standard approach.

[@saeedfili6910]

hi there. keep up the good content. i just wanted to ask something ,how frequent are you going to upload a new session? is it on weekly basis?

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

It's variable right now as I need to make videos and fullfill for buildyourcnc.com, so I do the ARM videos at every chance I get. If I can get more traction from the ARM and electronics public, I will spend more time on it since it will be helping financially.

[@intjengineering]

I have the H757 Eval Board, which I got [as a gift] a couple of months ago and am still getting to know it. There's no material (tutorials, books, etc...) for these high performance boards. I can kinda understand it - like, if you have such a board, then you should be fine with all the fundamentals, right? Haha But still. Still I will follow the series since many of the concepts apply to all STs with ARM Cores. Keep it up!

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

You will be perfectly fine with these tutorials. you can follow along, but make sure to have the reference manual ready. I use the reference manual heavily in these tutorials. If the code should work, but just confirm with the reference manual for your chip when using the register level code. The registers should mostly be the same, so for the few that m ay not be, use your reference manual.

[@micah2936]

Thank you for making these videos. I’ve been designing PCBs which I need to mount the arduino to and if I can just remove the arduino then I can lessen my size constraints drastically. My last project I literally made a separate PCB which awkwardly mounts on the side of my project that connects with a ribbon cable just to connect 6 pins of an arduino Nano to the main PCB. I could not make one PCB with my size constraints using the arduino.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Excellent. I'm happy to hear you broke off of the Arduino hold. Now you are free!! Haha!

[@muhammadqaisarali]

Amazing.. you started programing at the age of 11 or 12 years.

@@PatrickHoodDaniel Salute Sir. It's amazing. Knowing about microcontrollers at the age of 11/12 years in 1970's is amazing. Indeed you must be at a place of advance technology.

[@setter3329]

hi Patrick, im fairly new to your channel, should i go back and look at your other ARM tutorials or can i start from this series.......thanks

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

You can definitely start with this series as I explain in a very detailed way so anyone can grasp the content. It doesn't hurt to watch the others in-between.

Hello sir ...I really like your tutorial ...I am a newbie to mcu and programming I have built few Arduino projects ...I want to use st mcus in my future projects because they are cheap and I came to know they are better and faster .I am planning to use stm8 mcus ...just wanted to know is coding and ide same for STM8 and stm32?

[@JohnFerrier]

I ordered one of your boards like 2 years ago and it arrived broken. :( But I do still appreciate your videos.

Great series! Can I follow along with the STM32F1 blue pill?. Would you recommend learning the arduino first before coming here? Thanks.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Hi Ganesh, I would not recommend learning Arduino prior to this series. If you want to eventually create products that will be potentially manufactured, this series will provide the most efficient way as you are building from the bare chip rather than a development platform that you will need to pare down. Have fun and enjoy the process. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@ganeshdagadi6577]

@@PatrickHoodDaniel Sure thanks. Can I follow along using any of the STM32Fxxx bluepill boards? i am not able to find a bare chip breadboard interface like the one you use in the videos.

It appears your breakout boards are not available on amazon at this time. I was only curious as to how much you were charging.

Interesting. I may need to create this listing.

[@mic03311]

Hi many thanks for the video. The book just arrived today 😁 question: I do have several STM32 Dev board like the nucleo-l476rg and others. I guess it is fine for following along. I see the benefit of being able to attach the MCU on the breadboard but appart from that is there any advantage of not using a devkit? (Please also share the Gerber and exact STM32 version you will be using) - great work !

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Absolutely. The Nucleo development kit is fine to use since you are using the same IDE and programming as the bare chip method. Just remember that when creating a final circuit for a potential product, you will need to determine which components on the Nucleo are relevant and necessary.

[@mic03311]

@@PatrickHoodDaniel can you share the physical dimensions of the breakout board and the exact chip you will be using. I will try to create mine on kicad. This should be fairly easy to implement. Thanks

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

@@mic03311 I am using the STM32F030. Don't worry too much with the specific chip though. Using the reference manual that I show in the videos will allow you to understand exactly how to program any of the STM32 chips. The breakout board is 3.44 inches (87mm) x 0.89 inches (23mm).

I think this will be hard to learn and to catch some necessary information than learning avr microcontrollers.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

No, this will be easier to learn than the AVR series. The tools that STMicro provides are better than I have seen for most platforms and this will allow you to understand everything in detail. I am planning on demonstrating and instructing at a level that a 5th grader (10 year old) will be able to understand and follow as long as there is an interest and persistence in following along with every step.
