STM32 Programming Tutorial for Custom Hardware | SWD, PWM, USB, SPI - Phil's Lab #13

Overview of how to write test firmware for a custom STM32-based PCB, in particular for a variant of one made using the hardware design tutorial videos (including various sensors, flash memory, USB, etc.).

Includes topics such as: STM32CubeIDE, SWD and ST-Link, Timers and PWM (RGB LED), USB (Virtual COM Port), SPI (driver for inertial measurement unit).
By no means a complete tutorial but rather a guide on how to approach writing firmware when you first get your custom boards!

New hardware and PCB design course on mixed-signal embedded systems just released!

[RohitSardessai]

This channel is just fantastic. I've always wanted to learn this stuff and this is one of the finest resources I've stumbled upon. It's easy to find beginner tutorials like Arduino programming but when you get beyond that it becomes harder and harder to find good content and resources.

[kulaniscap]

Can't recall when my eyes have been so glued to my screen. Awesome Channel, awesome video.

[suvapillay]

Mate, you're gonna groom alot of engineers with all this content. Essentially, helping people earn their way in the world. God bless you. Take care, and Thank you.

[billyjoe]

I completely love your videos. Please continue these STM32 videos!

[chihebsabri]

Keep up the good work. The best detailed tutorials ever. Never get bored I can watch your videos for hours 😍

[frankbose]

your stm32 videos are hands down the best on YouTube keep up the great work sir

[stm]

The best stm32 tutorial on YouTube! Hands down!!

[danielcox]

Amazing tutorial Phil! No wasted time, just clear and complete explanations. On the downside, now engineering managers are going to expect that we can crank out a complete project in 38 minuets.

[ScuffedCircuits]

Great tutorial. It was tutorials just like this that helped get me into electronics a few years back.

[viswadeepkopalli]

Have been searching for content like this for a while now thank you for taking the time to provide such an amazing content .

[rikilshah]

Great video. Very few people go this way to explain things in a simple and detailed way. Expect more content from you!

[davidbrooks]

Phil, you have excellent presentation ability on topics that are on a different level and it is rare to see such a thing. The video is excellent and professional and shows all the basic steps to get started. I'm sure everyone will also be happy to see how DMA is enabled and how RTOS is used. Your contribution to amateurs, students and beginning engineers around the globe is unquestionable.

[clamper]

As someone getting into this your videos have been one of my greatest resources, thank you so much for creating this awesome content!

[vinamarora]

This is some really high quality content/tutorial!

[skrya]

Awesome video! I hope this will be a whole video series. The topic is not covered well on the internet yet, so I think the community welcomes it nicely!

[abhishekreddy]

Love the stuff you are teaching here... So glad that I discovered your channel!

[tonyfremont]

This is awesome, especially with the long tutorial on making a PCB. I struggled so much trying to figure out how to program and debug a cheap blue pill board. I couldn't find a straightforward tutorial on getting started. I spent countless hours trying to figure out what I needed to program and debug with stlink. Thanks again.

[markday]

A really nice overview! I'm going to go back and watch your earlier videos.

[JessieKropp]

Great timing. I just recently got a few of the WEACT modules. Great video and really helped me understand CubeIDE. Thank you.
