“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 13): Running Temporary RAM Programs and Using Tightly-Coupled Memories
Up until this point, I’ve only written about embedded applications which get loaded into a device’s non-volatile memory. That’s how most “normal” programs work, but it’s not the only way
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 12): Using Quad-SPI Flash Memory
If I had to guess what the world’s most popular footprint for low-density memory chips was, I would probably be wrong. But I’ll bet that the humble 8-pin SOIC /
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 11): Using External Memories
Modern microcontrollers are amazing. They are much faster and cheaper than the sort of processors that powered “real” computers a few decades ago, and they’re also very power-efficient. But software
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 10): UART Communication
If you’ve been reading the posts about STM32s that I’ve been writing, I owe you an apology. Usually when people write microcontroller tutorials, UART is one of the first peripherals
Reading Battery Voltage with the STM32’s ADC
If you choose to pursue embedded development beyond the occasional toy project, it probably won’t take long before you want to design something which runs off of battery power. Many
New 8-pin ARM Core: the STM32G031J6
It has been about nine months since ST released their new STM32G0 line of microcontrollers to ordinary people like us, and recently they released some new chips in the same
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 9): Fun With DMA
I’ve written a few basic tutorials about bare-metal STM32 development in the past, and even though I’m still learning as I write them, I think that there’s enough groundwork to
Keeping Up With the Moorses: Learning to Use STM32G0 Chips
Microcontrollers are just like any other kind of semiconductor product. As manufacturers learn from customer feedback and fabrication processes continue to advance, the products get better. One of the most
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 8): Learn to Debug Timing Issues with Neopixels
I haven’t written about STM32 chips in a little while, but I have been learning how to make fun displays and signage using colorful LEDs, specifically the WS2812B and SK6812
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 7): Embedded C++ Inheritance
As you start to re-use components like sensors and displays, you might start to get frustrated with how long it takes to set up new projects. Copying and cleaning code between
“Bare Metal” STM32 Programming (Part 6): Multitasking With FreeRTOS
In a previous tutorial, we walked through the process of setting up a hardware interrupt to run a function when a button was pressed or a dial was turned. Most
Drawing to a Small TFT Display: the ILI9341 and STM32
As you learn about more of your microcontroller’s peripherals and start to work with more types of sensors and actuators, you will probably want to add small displays to your
