Best board for the price point
Bought ten of these for our university lab. They have survived countless student connections and disconnections. The Ethernet port is a fantastic bonus for IoT projects.

Solid for prototyping industrial controls
We used several of these for rapid prototyping of a conveyor belt sensor system. The CAN bus implementation worked flawlessly. Would prefer a more rugged connector for production, but perfect for eval.

Perfect for embedded learning
This board is exactly what I needed to transition from Arduino to ARM development. The pinout is clearly labeled, and it works seamlessly with STM32CubeIDE. Highly recommended for students.

Easy to get started
As a beginner, I was worried about the complexity, but the community support for this specific board version is huge. I got my first LED blinking in minutes using HAL libraries.

Robust performance for motor control
I am using this for a quadcopter flight controller project. The PWM resolution and timer capabilities of the F407 are excellent. No stability issues after weeks of testing.

Great value, minor documentation gaps
Hardware quality is solid and the chip runs cool even under load. The only downside is that the included schematic could be more detailed for custom peripheral mapping. Otherwise, a great purchase.
Q: Is this compatible with the Arduino IDE?
A: Yes, you can use the Arduino IDE by installing the STM32duino board package. However, for full peripheral utilization, we recommend using STM32CubeIDE or Keil MDK.
Q: Does this board come with a built-in programmer or do I need an external ST-Link?
A: This specific expansion version does not have a built-in debugger. You will need an external ST-Link V2 or V3 programmer to upload code and debug via the SWD header.
Q: Can I power this board directly via the USB port?
A: Yes, the board can be powered via the Micro-USB port (5V). It also features a power selection jumper if you wish to switch between USB and an external VIN source.
Q: Does the Ethernet interface require additional configuration?
A: The PHY chip is onboard, but you must configure the MAC settings in your software (HAL or LL drivers) and ensure you have the correct LAN8720 driver initialized in your project.
Q: What is the maximum current draw allowed on the 3.3V pin?
A: The onboard regulator can supply approximately 200mA to the 3.3V rail. For high-power peripherals, please use an external 3.3V source connected to the appropriate pins.
