# STM32 Bluepill Quickstart
## Temporary files
Create files and directories within the project temp directory e.g.: `~/.gemini/tmp/d9929d1c794fb414052498bc12a08fef640ff8b7c30d9190d0699962781facbf`
## Compilation
To compile the sketch, run the following command from the project root:
```bash
arduino-cli compile --fqbn STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF1:pnum=BLUEPILL_F103CB,upload_method=OpenOCDDapLink --build-path /tmp/$(basename $(pwd)) .
```
## Flashing
To flash the sketch use `openocd` to flash the sketch.
```bash
openocd -d2 -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/stm32f1x.cfg -c "program {/tmp/$(basename $(pwd))/$(basename $(pwd)).ino.elf} verify reset exit"
```
## Viewing Logs
The best way for me to read the logs is to capture the output from the serial port to a file, and then read that file.
1. First, I'd configure the serial port settings without starting an interactive session using `stty`.
2. Then, I'd use a command like `head` to read a specific number of lines from the serial port and save them to a temporary file. This command will exit automatically after reading the lines.
3. Finally, I would use `read_file` to read the contents of that temporary file.

# SSD1306 OLED Servo Control with STM32 Blue Pill
This project demonstrates how to control a servo motor using an IBT_2 (BTS7960) motor driver, an STM32 Blue Pill, and a 128x64 SSD1306 OLED display. The user can control the motor's speed and direction using four push buttons, with real-time feedback on the OLED screen.
## Features
* **Motor Control:** Adjust speed and direction of a servo motor.
* **OLED Display:** A 128x64 SSD1306 OLED display shows the current speed, direction, and motor state (ON/OFF).
* **User Interface:** A simple and intuitive interface with four buttons for control (Up, Down, OK, Cancel).
* **Two-Color Display Optimization:** The UI is designed for two-color (Yellow and Blue) OLED displays, with a static header in the yellow section and dynamic values in the blue section.
## Hardware Required
* STM32F103C8T6 "Blue Pill" development board
* 128x64 SSD1306 OLED display (I2C) with 4 push buttons (up, down, OK, Back)
* IBT_2 (dual BTS7960) motor driver
*
* Servo motor e.g.: RS-550 or R-775
* External power supply for the motor 12-24V/5A
* Breadboard and jumper wires
## Wiring
Connect the components to the Blue Pill as described below.
### OLED Display (I2C)
| OLED Display Pin | Blue Pill Pin |
| :--------------- | :------------ |
| VCC | 3.3V |
| GND | GND |
| SCL | PB6 |
| SDA | PB7 |
### Control Buttons
The buttons are connected to GPIO pins using the internal pull-up resistors. The other terminal of each button should be connected to GND.
| Button Function | Blue Pill Pin |
| :-------------- | :------------ |
| Up | PA0 |
| Down | PA1 |
| OK | PA2 |
| Cancel | PA3 |
### IBT_2 Motor Driver
The IBT_2 module requires its own power supply for the motor.
| IBT_2 Pin | Blue Pill Pin | Description |
| :-------- | :------------ | :--------------------------- |
| VCC | 5V | Logic Power |
| GND | GND | Logic Ground |
| R_EN | 3.3V | Right Enable (connect to 3.3V) |
| L_EN | 3.3V | Left Enable (connect to 3.3V) |
| RPWM | PB0 | Right PWM Signal (Forward) |
| LPWM | PB1 | Left PWM Signal (Reverse) |
### DAPLink UART
For debugging and logging, you can connect the DAPLink's virtual COM port to the Blue Pill's UART1.
| DAPLink Pin | Blue Pill Pin | Description |
| :---------- | :------------ | :------------------ |
| RXD | PA9 (TX1) | Connect to TX |
| TXD | PA10 (RX1) | Connect to RX |
| GND | GND | Common Ground |
**IBT_2 Power Connections:**
| IBT_2 Terminal | Connection |
| :------------- | :----------------------------- |
| B+ | Positive of Motor Power Supply |
| B- | Negative of Motor Power Supply |
| M+ | Positive of Servo Motor |
| M- | Negative of Servo Motor |
## Dependencies
This sketch requires the following Arduino libraries:
* `Wire`
* `Adafruit_GFX`
* `Adafruit_SSD1306`
* `Adafruit_BusIO` (A dependency for the Adafruit libraries)
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
* [Arduino CLI](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/installation/)
* [STMicroelectronics STM32 core](https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32)
### Installation
1. **Install arduino-cli:** Follow the official instructions at [arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/installation/](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/installation/).
2. **Initialize and Configure arduino-cli:**
* Create a default configuration file:
```bash
arduino-cli config init
```
* Add the STMicroelectronics board manager URL:
```bash
arduino-cli config add board_manager.additional_urls https://github.com/stm32duino/BoardManagerFiles/raw/main/package_stmicroelectronics_index.json
```
* Update the local core index:
```bash
arduino-cli core update-index
```
* Install the STM32 core:
```bash
arduino-cli core install STMicroelectronics:stm32
```
3. **Install Required Libraries:**
```bash
arduino-cli lib install "Adafruit SSD1306" "Adafruit GFX Library" "Adafruit BusIO"
```
## Board Setup
In Arduino IDE → Tools, set:
Board → STM32 MCU based boards → Generic STM32F1 series
Board part number → BluePill F103CB (or C8 with 128K)
Upload Method → OpenOCD DAPLink (SWD)
## Compilation
1. **Prepare Your Sketch Directory:** Ensure your sketch file is named `SSD1306_sketch.ino` and is located in a folder with the same name. For example:
`/path/to/your/project/SSD1306_sketch/SSD1306_sketch.ino`
2. **Compile the Sketch:** Compile the sketch for the Blue Pill (STM32F103CB or C8 with 128k), specifying the OpenOCD upload method.
```bash
arduino-cli compile --fqbn STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF1:pnum=BLUEPILL_F103CB,upload_method=OpenOCDDapLink /path/to/your/project/SSD1306_sketch
```
The binary files will be generated in a temporary build directory. To find the path to the binary, you can run the compile command with the `--verbose` flag.
## Upload to the Board
The compiled sketch can be uploaded to the Blue Pill using `openocd`. The exact command may vary depending on your setup.
First, you need to find the path to your compiled `.elf` file. You can find this in the output of the `arduino-cli compile` command. It will be in a temporary directory `~/.cache/arduino/sketches`.
Then, find the `openocd` e.g.: `~/.arduino15/packages/STMicroelectronics/tools/xpack-openocd/0.12.0-6/bin/openocd` or install a distro specific version e.g.: `sudo apt install openocd`. Example of the path to the compiled sketch: `/home/martin/.cache/arduino/sketches/96DBB1C909C240C2F96DCDD5DDFB9A12/SSD1306_sketch.ino.elf`
Here is an example command to upload the sketch using DAPLink:
```bash
/path/to/your/openocd -d2 -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/stm32f1x.cfg -c "program {/path/to/your/sketch.ino.elf} verify reset exit"
```
## 🐞 Hardware Debugging with DAPLink (CMSIS-DAP) on Blue Pill
This section describes how to enable **hardware debugging** for the STM32F103 "Blue Pill" board using a **DAPLink / CMSIS-DAP** debugger in **Arduino IDE 2**.
By default, the STM32 Arduino core loads the wrong OpenOCD configuration (`dapdirect_swd`, meant for ST-Link).
Until the (bug)[https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32/issues/2807] is not fixed, follow these steps to fix it:
### 🧭 1. Locate STM32 Core Folder (Linux)
Open a terminal and navigate to your STM32 Arduino core installation:
```bash
cd ~/.arduino15/packages/STMicroelectronics/hardware/stm32/2.11.0/
```
Adjust the version number if different (check in Arduino IDE → Tools → Board → Boards Manager).
🧰 2. Create or Edit platform.local.txt
Create (or edit) a local override file:
```bash
nano platform.local.txt
```
Paste the following lines:
```bash
debug.server.openocd.scripts.0=interface/cmsis-dap.cfg
debug.server.openocd.scripts.1={runtime.platform.path}/debugger/select_swd.cfg
```
Save and close (Ctrl + O, Enter, Ctrl + X).
These lines tell OpenOCD to:
Use the CMSIS-DAP interface (interface/cmsis-dap.cfg)
Use standard SWD transport (select_swd.cfg) instead of dapdirect_swd
🔁 3. Restart Arduino IDE
Completely close and reopen Arduino IDE 2 to apply the new settings.
⚙️ 4. Configure the IDE
In Arduino IDE → Tools, set:
Debug symbols and core logs → Core Logs and Symbols Enabled (-g)
Optimize → Debug (-Og)
Then click the 🐞 Debug icon and press Start Debugging.
