So, we need to make the LED pin as output and switch pin as INPUT. Here in this tutorial, we are going to toggle an LED using a push button. Step 4: Now users can select the desired setting from the categories. We can later change the required ones as needed by our project.Īfter clicking on ‘Yes’, the screen will similar to the below picture and green color pin indicating that they are initiated by default. Step 3: Now click on yes as shown in the picture below, to initialize all the peripherals in their default mode. The software will support all STM32 development boards from ST Microelectronics. If you have a different board search for its respective name. Step 2: Now search board by your STM32 board name like NUCLEO-F030R8 and click on the board showing in the picture. Step 1: After installation, launch STM32CubeMX, then select the access board selector to select the STM32 board. Getting started with STM32CubeMX for STM32 Nucleo64 Development Boards The below pin diagram of the STM32 Development Board will come in handy to know where each morpho pins are connected to onboard. We have added external components only for practice. These inbuilt LEDs and push-button also connected at the same pin as shown in the circuit diagram. Once the connections were made, my test set-up looked like this.Īlternatively, we can also use the inbuilt LED and push button on the board. We have connected a push-button and an LED to these pins as shown in the circuit diagram below.Ĭircuit connections are easy for this project, we need to connect an LED at PA5 of PORTA and a switch at PC13 of PORTC with respect to GND. Now, if you have seen the video linked above, you should already know that your STM32 Development Board has two sets of connector pins on either side called ST Morpho pins. As mentioned earlier in this article, we are going to control an LED using a push button. Then install them on your Laptop.īefore we proceed with the software section and coding, let's prepare our board for this project. Both TrueSTUIO and STM32CubeMX is easy to download, just follow the link below, signup and download the setup. TrueSTUDIO has a debug mode that allows programmers to upload the hex file directly to the STM32 board. To upload our program (hex file) into our development board, people normally use the STM32 ST-LINK Utility tool, but instead, we will be using TrueSTUDIO itself to do this. Then STM32CubeMX will be used to generate peripheral drivers for STM32 boards to make programming easy. Here for our tutorials, TrueSTUDIO will be used for writing, compiling, and debugging code because it is free to download and use even for commercial projects without any license requirement. IAR Embedded Workbench® for ARM® (EWARM).The STM32 family consists of 32-bit Microcontrollers that support the following IDEs and toolchains: So here we also need an IDE for our STM32 Nucleo64 Boards to perform programming and debugging. Getting started with any microcontroller will need a programming IDE like we have Arduino IDE for Arduino boards, Atmel Studio for AVR microcontroller, MP Lab for PIC, etc. Selecting and Downloading the Required Development Platforms for Nucleo64 Boards Even, if you have a different version, most things discussed in the tutorial will suffice for you to get started. We have selected this board mainly because of its low cost. Note: There are many versions of STM32 Nucleo64 Development Boards, the particular board used in this tutorial is NUCLEO-F030R8. The video also demonstrates how to program STM32 using ARM Mbed Platform but for this tutorial, we will use another free to use platform from ST Microelectronics called TrueSTUDIO. If you are completely new to the STM32 Nucleo64 Development Boards, do check out this Nucleo64 Review video to understand the basics of this board before you proceed further. Nucleo64 Development Boards are low cost and easy to use platform for professional developers as well as for hobbyist. Similarly, starting with this article, we will also plan a sequence of STM32 Nucleo64 Development Board Tutorials which can help absolute beginners to learn and develop using the STM32 Platform. We have already covered a sequence of PIC Microcontroller tutorials, which guides beginners for learning PIC microcontrollers. In fact, for most people, Arduino would have been their first development board, but as we dig deep and begin professional designs, we will soon realize the limitations of Arduino (like cost, versatility, stability, speed, etc.) and understand the need to shift into a more native Microcontroller platform like PIC, STM, Renesas, etc. Many of us should be familiar with the popular microcontrollers and development boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, NoduMCU, 8051, etc.
