Blue Pill STM32F103 Arm Programming

This video will demonstrate how to upload an hex file to the Blue Pill STM32F103C8 Arm module. This is a cost effective approach to get into Arm programming as the modules are inexpensive and all tools needed are free.

You gave the the confidence to actually get my Blue Pill going, after a year of having it in a drawer. I used the ST-Link from my stm32F0-Discovery board. Worked like a champ.

Excellent explanation and video, many THANKS. Hope you make more video about STM32 projects with Arduino IDE.

Hi 0033mer, I recently purchased my first Arduino and got a couple of Blue Pills as well, as they are very cheap.
I've set two up using Arduino IDE and two with Forth, Mecrisp-Stellaris, one had a broken Reset SW (DOA).
As I use the Arduino FTDI dongle for communication anyway I opened the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor and
using the two units with Forth on them I was able to communicate using the Arduino, Serial Monitor (reset to 115200 baud).
So if you didn't have Tera Term at least you could see it working. 07 EMIT (BEEP) won't work this way, but no big deal ~ :o)

A simple project using Forth to flash some LEDs in a Chaser or a Bluetooth Relay or something simple would get others
interested I'm sure.
Great work,
Greetings from Australia.

Hi 0033mer. I am here to learn by heart about my delivered questions on that video. I'll try it as soon as I can at weekend. Thanks a lot:)

In China this Blue stm32f103c8t6 's price is about one doller.

I am trying to use Debugger option on Keil IDE in STM 32F103C8T6 using ST-Link Debugger but it is not working. I am trying to read value stored in a variable. I am not able to read it.
However, when I try to read value using same tools on different boards such as STM 32 F030 (Cortex - M0) and Nucle STM32 L031(Cortex-M0+), I am able to read.

I want to ask is there any problem with STM 32F103. (I know there is no problem in the F103 as I have tried with many new F103 Boards and problem prevails the same). And I know it is not the problem of ST-Link Debugger as it is working with STM 32 F030. Please help.

saved my day as I didn't have st link

[EmersonCapuano]

Could you upload these programs for that i cand download them?

[guongmomo]

COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT OUTPUT VALUE OF STM32F103? THANKS SO MUCH! <3

Which software you used to program blue pill

[med]

so the usb port in the blue pill is just for power

[bennguyen]

Don't the ST chips come with a built-in bootloader in rom? i.e. just set the B1B0 jumpers to Low/High and access via a ttl uart1 (like at the 3m33s mark)? With B0 being the one closest to the header edge.

Why did you have to start by programming via SWD (Discovery or ST-Link)? Is it because you wanted to add a secondary (Maple) bootloader?

BTW, any thoughts as to why people are changing R10 from 10K to 1.5k?
