The STM32 is a HUGE family of 32-bit microcontrollers from ST Microelectronics.
There are so many variants available that it can be an overwhelming process trying to figure out which STM32 version to select, so in this video I’m going to help you select the best STM32 for your specific project.

Can you make more videos on the microprocessor topic.

@vedantjadhav4525 3 ай бұрын

maybe a rookie suggestion but can you make a video were to teach how to develop a prototype development board with any choice of stm32 chip

Thank you for a well organised presentation. I now know which MCU to order for my project

Worth mentioning that the STM32G4 series MCUs are marketed as mixed-signal MCUs (analog peripherals + DSP instructions). In my opinion it doesn’t really fit the „budget“ category very well, this description is more valid for the STM32G0 series specifically.

In the diy drone community, we are ruled by the F1, F4 and F7 processors. My remote has an F1, and the video receiver module and flight controller have an F4. Pilots have been flocking to the F7 due to the extra UARTs for connecting GPS modules and all kinds of other goodies. I'm the kind who cares less about saving cost if it means sacrificing performance (for personal projects). You also wouldn't want me anywhere near the cost annalists.

Thanks for the lot of useful informations. Actually there is also U0 out now.

@PredictableDesigns 3 ай бұрын

Cool, thanks for sharing!

@eos1d3 2 ай бұрын

U0 does not have internal VRef. If you need accuracy for ADC, you need to add external vref. G030 interval VRef has very high accuracy, around 0.1%

Which STM32 MCU family would you recommend for 3-phase inverter or motor control?

*Summary* This video offers guidance on selecting the right STM32 microcontroller for various project needs. Here are the key takeaways: *STM32 Family:* (0:00) * *Huge family:* Over 3,900 variants available, categorized into 8 subfamilies (F, L, U, H, G, C, W, MP). * *Based on ARM Cortex-M architecture:* Offers a range from low-cost, low-power to high-performance options. *Choosing the Right STM32:* (2:44) * *Performance:* (9:29) * Moderate: F2, F3 * High: F4 * Very High: F7, H5 * Highest: H7 (up to 600MHz) * *Low Power Consumption:* (10:11) L series (various low-power modes) and U5 (newer, higher performance). * *Security:* (11:00) Models using Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone (L5, U5, H5). * *Wireless Functionality:* (11:30) * Bluetooth Low Energy: WB0 * Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, Thread: WB, WBA * Long Range Low RAWan: WL * *Advanced Features:* (12:14) Camera interface, LCD TFT, MIPI DSI, graphics accelerator, external memory controller are available in select models. * *Low Cost:* (14:37) C series (C0 specifically) for replacing 8/16-bit microcontrollers; G series as a budget option. *Pricing:* (15:28) * Ranges from ~$0.38 (C0) to over $12 (dual-core H7). * Prices vary within families based on memory configuration and package. * Digi-Key is good for smaller orders; direct from ST Microelectronics is often cheaper for larger quantities. *Remember:* (21:19) * The video encourages downloading a free PDF with detailed specifications and pricing. This summary provides a concise overview of the video's content. For a deeper dive into specific models and features, refer to the video and the recommended PDF download. i used gemini 1.5 pro to summarize the transcript

Greetings sir, for beginners considering STM32, which board-Black Pill or Blue Pill-would you recommend they start with?

@PredictableDesigns 2 ай бұрын

Well it depends on the project. The blue pill uses an stm32f1 whereas the black pill uses a more powerful stm32F4. So if a simple project go with blue, but if you need a more advanced microcontroller then go with the black. Hope this helps.

stm32f103 is the best because it is used in st-link, china price 1$

@Ma_X64 3 ай бұрын

The best STM32 is ArteryTech AT32 because they're more democratic to their customers.

@PredictableDesigns 3 ай бұрын

Okay, not sure what you mean by they are "more democratic to their customers". I've found ST to be a great company to work with. I've even had them give me free design reviews.

@PredictableDesigns Well... I will try to formalize this somewhat generalized feeling of mine. AT is not forcing you to register on their site in order to receive development tools and reference documentation. AT does not pursue an aggressive policy of imposing its new ideas, when in order to download the old familiar version of the IDE, you need to solve a puzzle. Microcontrollers from AT can easily withstand overclocking by 30-50 percent, and at the same time all components continue to work properly. The library code is written much simpler, so if necessary, you can easily take a piece and adapt it to your needs. And in general, the endless assertions in the ST libraries kind of suggest that the developer considers the end user an idiot, although, of course, the guys simply came to embedded from “big” programming and brought with them their vision of the “correct” code. And AT's MCUs cost less. But there're flaws too of course. ATs has less elaborated and holistic ecosystem and it still in development. There're enough misstypes in docs. Code generation from configurator is still not supporting middleware.

@eos1d3 2 ай бұрын

@@Ma_X64you need to learn how assertion work. Many assertions in library is a good thing. It helps you to debug and rule out most problems during development. After testing, you can disable all assertions in one single setting. By default, all assertions are disabled. Your comments are not all valid. Stm32 has low level library which is simple to use. HAL library is rubbish and bloatware. And stm32 has undocumented features which exists in higher price series. If you know, it is valuable. 🙈
