You’ll also learn to work with the I2C bus to add GPIO using the PCF8574 chip. And how to create PWM output for RC control using hardware timers.You'll be introduced to new concepts that are necessary to master the STM32, such as how to extend code with GCC overlays using an external Winbond ​W25Q32 flash chip. Your knowledge is tested at the end of each chapter with exercises. Upon completing this book, you’ll be ready to work with any of the devices in the STM32 family. Beginning STM32, Second Edition provides the professional, student, or hobbyist a way to learn about ARM without costing an arm!What You'll Learn Initialize and use the libopencm3 drivers and handle interruptsUse DMA to drive a SPI based OLED displaying an analog meterRead PWM from an RC control using hardware timersUnderstand STM32 capabilities, including USB controller, RTC, DMA, CAN bus, and more Who This Book Is ForExperienced embedded engineers, students, hobbyists and makers wishing to explore the ARM architecture, going beyond Arduino limits.
