STM32F103C8T6 Blue Pill ছোট size-এর মধ্যে powerful 32-bit performance প্রদান করে। যারা Arduino basic project থেকে advanced embedded system বা ARM microcontroller শেখার দিকে যেতে চান, তাদের জন্য এটি একটি ভালো development board।
Example Arduino IDE Blink Code
This code can be used after installing the STM32 board package in Arduino IDE.
#define LED_PIN PC13
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
delay(500);
}Note: On many Blue Pill boards, the onboard LED is connected to PC13 and may work with inverted logic.
Important Notes | গুরুত্বপূর্ণ নোট
- STM32 pins are generally 3.3V logic, not 5V tolerant for all pins.
- Use proper voltage level shifting when connecting 5V modules.
- ST-Link V2 is recommended for stable programming.
- Bootloader availability may vary by supplier batch.
- Do not connect high voltage directly to GPIO pins.
- Header pins may require soldering.
- Product marking and chip source may vary depending on stock batch.
- For beginners, some setup is required before uploading the first code.
