Summary:

This repo contains the "Hardware" files to support STM32 based boards on Arduino version 1.8.x (some older versions may also work) including LeafLabs Maple, and Maple mini, and other generic STM32F103 boards.

We are also on Gitter https://gitter.im/stm32duino/Lobby/

Background & Support:

• Based on https://github.com/bobc/maple-asp, which is in turn based on LibMaple by Leaflabs
• Please read the wiki (https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32/wiki) for full details
• See also my blog: http://www.rogerclark.net/stm32f103-and-maple-maple-mini-with-arduino-1-5-x-ide/
• NEW: Main support site for using STM32 boards with the Arduino IDE: http://www.stm32duino.com/
• Original LeafLabs "Docs:" http://docs.leaflabs.com/docs.leaflabs.com/index.html

Known issues

• Use of static variables inside functions greatly increase the code size becuase additional code is needed for thread-safe handling of these statics. If this is a problem for your application, please edit platform.txt and add -fno-threadsafe-statics the compiler.cpp.flags

Purchase info:

Entry level boards

• Ebay search for "arduino maple" (currently costs <$5 with shipping)
• AliExpress search for "leaflabs maple"

Bigger boards (You need to load the stm32duino bootloader)

Some suppliers have this board e.g.

• STM32F103VET
• There is also a STM32F103ZET board which also works, however they are not always available. They have been listed as "STM32F103ZET6 Minimum System Development Board ARM STM32 Cortex-m3 M75"
