STM32 PlatformIO Playground

Welcome to the STM32 PlatformIO Playground! This repository serves as a hands-on learning environment to explore various STM32 peripherals using PlatformIO as the sole IDE. The examples range from basic tasks like LED blinking to advanced peripheral operations such as UART communication, PWM, and more.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Hardware:

   • STM32 Nucleo F030R8 (or other STM32 boards).
   • Jumper wires, LEDs, buttons, etc., as required by the examples.

2. Software:

   • PlatformIO Core.
   • A text editor like VS Code with the PlatformIO extension.

Initial Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/STM32-PlatformIO-Playground.git
   cd STM32-PlatformIO-Playground

2. Navigate to an example folder:

   cd examples/01_LED_Blink

3. Open the project in PlatformIO:

   pio project init --board nucleo_f030r8

4. Build and upload the code:

   pio run --target upload

5. Monitor the serial output (if applicable):

   pio device monitor --baud 115200

Examples Overview

1. LED Blink

Learn how to blink an LED using GPIO. This example demonstrates configuring pins as outputs and toggling them at a fixed interval.

2. Button Press

Control an LED using a button. This example introduces GPIO input handling and basic debouncing.

3. PWM Signal

Generate a PWM signal to control devices like servo motors or LEDs. You'll learn how to configure timer peripherals for PWM.

4. UART Communication

Set up serial communication to transmit and receive data between the STM32 board and your computer.

More examples will be added for peripherals like I2C, SPI, ADC, and advanced applications.
