Learning STM32 Made Simple: A Comprehensive Guide

Follow and star our official account to access exciting content 1. If you find it simple, it means ST has succeeded. How did STM32 stand out among many microcontrollers back then? Because of the library functions. Before this, microcontrollers like 51, AVR, PIC, MSP430 required searching for others’ code to “borrow” when writing a UART … Read more

How to Self-Learn STM32 Microcontrollers

How to Self-Learn STM32 Microcontrollers

Continuing to post my answer. First, you need a development board. If you are just starting in the field of microcontrollers, I recommend starting with videos. At the very least, you should have a book on C programming for reference on C language concepts. When you first start learning, focus on videos. For concepts that … Read more

Understanding Zero Division Operations in STM32 Microcontrollers

Understanding Zero Division Operations in STM32 Microcontrollers

This issue’s topic: As is well known, in C language, dividing a number by 0 will lead to a division operation exception, causing the program to crash. To avoid program crashes, we need to include checks for 0 in the code. However, when running C program code that performs division by zero on STM32 microcontrollers, … Read more

Mastering STM32: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

Mastering STM32: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

Learning microcontrollers just for the sake of it is not the correct approach. You may ask: How to systematically start learning STM32? This is fundamentally a wrong question. If you know how to use the 8051 and can write C, then there is no need to deliberately learn STM32. What you should consider is what … Read more
