STM32
Date:
I successfully completed a comprehensive STM32 microcontroller course, working with the NUCLEO-F401RE development board. The course covered extensive hardware interfacing and programming concepts.
Hardware Components Used:
- NUCLEO-F401RE board with mini USB interface
- Various sensors: PIR, DHT11 (temperature/humidity), HC-SR04 (distance), MQ-7 (CO gas)
- Communication modules: RFID RC522, Bluetooth HC-05/HC-06, WiFi ESP01-S
- Display units: LCD 1602 with I2C, 8-digit MAX7219 display
- Memory modules: W25Q64 EEPROM, MicroSD card interface
- Input devices: Matrix keyboard, GL5528 photoresistor
- Actuators: RGB LED, Tower Pro SG90 servo
Key Topics Covered:
- STM32 platform fundamentals and GPIO operations
- Communication protocols (UART/USART, I2C, SPI)
- Interrupt handling and NVIC
- Timer operations and PWM control
- ADC implementations
- External memory interfacing
- FreeRTOS implementation
- Power management techniques
- DMA operations
- Wireless communication protocols
The course concluded with practical projects implementing various sensor integrations and real-time applications using FreeRTOS.
