Introduction Since both the Arduino controlling the lead screw and the board controlling the servo only have one UART, they need to communicate with each other, and also with the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, the number of UARTs is insufficient. Thus, I created a UART Data Manager using the STM32F103 chip, which has three UARTs: USART1~3. … Read more
Click the blue text to follow us 0. Introduction: Computer communication is divided into serial communication and parallel communication. Parallel communication: Typically transmits data bytes simultaneously using multiple data lines. Serial communication: Transmits data bytes one bit at a time over a single transmission line. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages: Parallel communication: Simple … Read more
1. What is a Download Circuit The download circuit of a microcontroller refers to the hardware circuit used to download the written program (firmware) to the internal memory of the microcontroller. This process is often referred to as programming or flashing. The download circuit includes the debugging interface with the microcontroller and the corresponding circuit … Read more

1 Introduction Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a component used by the CPU to “move” (copy) data from one address space to another without CPU intervention during the data copying process. The CPU is notified once the data copying is complete. As a result, using DMA can free up CPU resources when copying large amounts … Read more
Introduction to Serial Communication Classification Based on Data Transmission Direction Simplex: Data transmission only supports data transfer in one direction. Half-Duplex: Allows data to be transmitted in both directions. However, at any given time, data can only be transmitted in one direction, which is essentially a switched direction simplex communication; it does not require separate … Read more
The development of STM32 microcontrollers relies heavily on their powerful library function support. These library functions provide developers with a unified interface, simplifying the operation of low-level hardware, improving development efficiency and the reliability of programs. Below we will share 20 commonly used library functions for STM32 microcontrollers. 1. GPIO Initialization Function void HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIO_TypeDef* GPIOx, … Read more
