Black-Pill-Hub P1383-720px.jpg

Features

  • Carrier for the STM32 Black Pill Board
  • 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

BlackPillBoard-720px.png

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);
}

STM32F4-Black-Pill-Board-oriented.jpg

  • 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
