Great for robotics control
Using this to control a small rover. The PWM outputs are precise, and the processing speed is more than enough for real-time motor control. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought ten for our workshop
We equipped our entire makerspace with these boards. They are durable, consistent, and perfect for teaching beginners about microcontrollers beyond the basic 8-bit architectures.

Perfect for learning embedded systems
This board is exactly what I needed to start my journey with ARM Cortex-M3. The pinout is clearly labeled, and it works flawlessly with the Arduino IDE and STM32CubeIDE. Great value for the price.

Good quality, fast shipping
The board arrived quickly and was well-packaged. It boots up instantly and recognizes via SWD without issues. One star off because the documentation link on the box was broken, but easy to find online.

Solid board, minor soldering needed
The hardware is stable and reliable as described. Note that the header pins are not pre-soldered on some batches, so be prepared to do a little soldering work. Otherwise, performance is excellent.
Q: Can I power this board via the Micro-USB port?
A: Yes, you can power the board through the Micro-USB port. However, for projects drawing significant current from the 5V pin, an external power source is recommended to ensure stability.
Q: What is the maximum current output per GPIO pin?
A: Each GPIO pin can source or sink a maximum of 25mA. The total current sourced or sunk by all I/O ports combined should not exceed the limits specified in the STM32F103C8T6 datasheet.
Q: Does this board come with pre-soldered header pins?
A: It depends on the specific batch. Some come with headers soldered, while others ship with loose headers for you to solder yourself. Please check the product images or description at the time of purchase.
Q: Is this compatible with the standard Arduino IDE?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible. You will need to install the STM32 board package via the Board Manager in the Arduino IDE preferences to get started.
Q: What debugger do I need to program this board?
A: You can use any ST-LINK/V2 debugger or programmer. Many users also successfully use a DAPLink adapter. The board supports the SWD interface for debugging and flashing.
