Features
- Carrier for the STM32 Black Pill Board
- STM32F4XX|STM32F401/411 CPU
- AliExpress listing
- I2C Hub - PCA9544A
- 4-channel
- Independent 3.3V/5V power for each channel
- Separate interrupts for each channel
- GVS connections for Black Pill pins
- Good for supplying power/ground to external I/O cards
- Reset switch
- Power options
Black Pill Module
Not pin compatible with Blue Pill due to power pin locations
Reserved Pins
- PA0 - On-board USER KEY - needs INPUT_PULLUP
- PC13 - On-board LED
- PB2 - BOOT1
- Pulling this pin down by external hardware causes the board to boot to serial
- Can be ignored by holding both reset and BOOT1 buttons on the Black Pill card
- Release reset button first
- PA11 - USB-M
- PA12 - USB-P
- PA9 - Serial TX1
- PA10 - Serial RX1
Programming
Second Serial Port - HardwareSerial
From HardwareSerial. The STM32 MCU's have several U(S)ART peripherals. By convenience, the U(S)ARTx number is used to define the Serialxinstance:
- Serial1 for USART1
- Serial2 for USART2
- Serial3 for USART3
- Serial4 for UART4
- For LPUART1 this is SerialLP1
- By default, only one Serialx instance is available mapped to the generic Serial name.
- To use a second serial port, a HardwareSerial object should be declared in the sketch before the setup() function:
// RX TX
HardwareSerial Serial1(PA10, PA9);
void setup() {
Serial1.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
Serial1.println("Hello World!");
delay(1000);
}

Programming
DFU Programming
- Steps from Programming|Program STM32 Black Pill (STM32F401 / F411) with Arduino IDE (Windows OS)
- Add the URL to Additional Board Manager URLs text box:
- Go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager
- Search for STM32, select latest version and click Install.
- Download and install STM32CubeProg from ST.com: [1]
- Start the STM32CubeProg
- From the Tools > Board > STM32 Board, select Generic STM32F4 series
- Select Tools > Board Part Number > BlackPill F411CE
- Under USB Support, select CDC (generic "Serial" supersede U(S)ART)
- Under Upload method, select STM32CubeProgrammer(DFU)
- Use the onboard BOOT0 and NRST button to put the board into bootloader mode:
- press and hold the BOOT0 button
- press and release NRST (reset) button to power cycle the processor
- release BOOT0 button
- Sometimes removing the USB cable and plugging it back in while pressing BOOT0 button works better
- Upload sketch
- Displays in IDE
