هدر برد STM32F103C8T6

STM32 card is a development board called Blue Pill, it is low-cost and incorporates the high-performance ARM®Cortex-M3 32-bit RISC core, this card is suitable for starting projects on the STM32 microcontroller. It comes with male-male header’s terminals that you can solder yourself.
STM32F103C8T6 is a very powerful microcontroller and with 32-bit CPU, it can easily outperform Arduino UNO in performance.
To program this board you have to use a ST-LINK V2 programmer since this board does not include a programmer, it needs an external one, there are different ways to program it either with the STM32 Utility IDE or even with the Arduino IDE.

How to Program the STM32F103C Blue Pill with the Arduino IDE

In the following tutorial you will learn how to correctly install the STM32F103C Blue Pill board in the Arduino IDE d and how to program it in a simple way, in this way you will have the bases so that you can develop more advanced projects with STM32.

To start this tutorial you must have the latest version of the Arduino software installed, then load the STM32 family cards, you just have to copy the following link, then open the Arduino IDE, click on “File”, it will be displayed a menu of options, select “Preferences” and a window will open, go to the “URL Manager” and paste the following link in the box:

http://dan.drown.org/stm32duino/package_STM32duino_index.json

In the following video you will be able to guide yourself to correctly load the STM32 cards.

In case you have the ESP8266 or ESP32 cards loaded, you just have to give a space and paste the URL.

Since you pasted the URL you must close the Arduino IDE and open it again, then go to the “Tools” tab, click on “Board” and then “Card Manager”, a window will open and in the search box enter “STM32” and select the boards “STM32F1xx/GD32F1xx boards” and install it.
In the following GIF you can see the process you must do to correctly install the cards.

After doing the above steps, you can see the STM32 in the list of boards. Now select the STM32F103C.
How to program the STM32F103C Blue Pill?
This board already comes from the factory with a firmware that allows you to work with the Arduino IDE development environment.
Previously, we already installed the boards and selected the compatible board.
The next thing you have to do is select the programming method, for this case the ST programmer will be used- LINK V2 for this you must define in the Arduino IDE “STLink” to do this just go to the “Tools” tab select “Upload method” and select “STLink”, the following image shows that you must select:
