#1 Say NO to ARDUINO! New ARM Microcontroller Programming and Circuit Building Series

ARM microcontrollers are a complete shitshow compared to AVR or even 8051. The mental overhead required to get a project off the ground or to understand the processor is much, much higher. By orders of magnitude. If you don't need the processing power, don't commit to ARM. It really is not worth the headache.

What's with the occultist skull thing?

Excellent Patrick!, Thank you for your videos and this great introduction video!, I really like when you say that your circuit should only have what you need. 
This series of videos, will for sure help me in my journey towards the embedded systems world and to create a product idea; ARM chips (IMO) is a great cost-effective option for my product.

You mentioned that you'd use C or C++ and `STM32CubeIDE` as your IDE. Does this IDE support testing for TDD? My past experience with Eclipsed-based IDE was not ideal, is there another IDE that you could recommend so that the development could be smoother?

The embedded systems world is so powerful and interesting! 

Thank you in advance

I've gone a few episodes deep, I was looking at microprocessors, having built my was through an a Adreno learning kit. This series just helped demystify everything. I tried to buy book on kindle in Australia, didn't work. I'll try again, I'm dyslexic, so getting kindle version I can use text to speech.

First time in a long time since I watched a video that made scene. THANKS

If I'm not mistaken, Atmel MCUs are ARM.

How to program and make controllers according to use for production pr development according to need

Thank you! I'm looking to start with both the arduino and something more used for production.

will touching the pins with bare hands damage the microcontroller? does the stm32 chip have ESD protection

U da Man!! I was just thinking you should update your courses!!! Keep on working on the other volumes.

What about the ARM9, any good for a GPS device?

Thank you sooo much!

Subbed. I stumbled upon this video, somewhat like I did with Arduino some 6-8 years ago. Looking forward to viewing your Playlist.

@BuildYourCNC Which kit should I buy for parts needed to complete this book? I bought the book and I'm pumped to start. A centralized list of parts and tools would be greatly appreciated.
Will I need my own oscilloscope? Multimeter?

Electronics engineering and I am here to learn about this amazing microchip. New sub.

The general statement "Say NO to ARDUINO" [1] is enough for me (STM32 professional user and STM32 fangirl) that disqualifies you of any seriousness. This conflicts directly with "Use the right tool for the right job", which anyone with professional experience in electronics engineering would tell you. It is good showing a broader audience the great possibilities of these chips. But you can do this without the pungent smell of a snake-oil salesman.

[1] while in reality, the Arduino Platform/STM32 based Arduino Boards is without any doubt usable for quick and dirty programming of STM32 based prototypes. But that is not my argument here. The MCU market is extremely diverse and the toolchain, platform, library and design possibilities are too. Only an idiot will think that a single ONE is THE solution to everything. But even worse are the scammers profiting of these gullible people ... Shame on them!

For me learning and doing microcontrollers is fun because I learn about how hardware and software interact with each other and how we can control hardware with software.

Waiting for Volume 2 of this book . When is it coming out Sir ?.

When are you going to edit the 2nd arm book ?

Arduino is very popular than the rest of the microcontrollers its like it conquers all of them.

I started using the AVR as early as Atmel started transitioning from the MCS-51 family, which I was using before that point. I was on assembly so it was a bit harder for me to switch over. No worries, I've been using STM32 for over a decade, using C of course. The major drawback with the AVR isn't just in the price and resources, it's also STUPID SLOW! 20 years ago a 16MHz system clock was sweet, but it was an 8-bit architecture. Now the STM32 comes with 4x the core bandwidth, easily reaching 72MHz system frequency, with the F4 and H7 series I've been using, they are running at 180MHz and 480MHz respectively. I guess that's why people started trying to run the Arduino framework on the STM32 or various Pi baords. Redesigning PCB is fine, you can shed enough parts to make an Ardnuino more compact. Yet still, I never got used to using that system. Never tested it with any benchmark tools either, but I generally don't trust it with efficiency.

I said NO to AVR 8 years ago. Then I tried to realize a frequency meter with 1Hz resolution up to 10MHz. These AVR chip hasn't 32bit hardware timer - so it was very problematic to realize such an equipment)). I tried to use assembler, but I had not had any success. In addition, prices on STM32 chips were very attractive. There was 32bit CPU, 16kBytes of RAM, 32-bit timer, DMA !. But it was really difficult to understand how to program stm32 - a documentation has more than 1000 pages. There are several clock buses. I can compare STM32 with 80486 motherboard (without video card surely). But there you can be running digital signal processing in real time (in speech band up to 4kHz) and realize digital filters.

Sir ,I love you

中文的翻译不太准确，很好的课程

Hi, does someone know which microcontroller is used o infotainment cars?

Well, I used to watch the videos of this channel 6 years back, the series was "AVR atmega32 programing". At thet time you didn't appeared in the videos. Today I found this video, after few seconds I started thinking that I have had heard this voice. I have learned from your videos. Hopefully will learn from these as well. Thank you.

I'm personally not a big fan of shields for the Arduino or Raspberry Pi and try not to use them if i don't have to. Arduino is nice, though, because it makes it easy to test things via speed of compiling and uploading code without issue and it's availability to use a breadboard, then you can use the Arduino as an ISP programmer which is super convenient if you don't have the electronics on hand to program another Atmega chip. Clearly the ARM chips are going to be much better, though. The chip on the Arduino Mega is 8-bit, I believe, while the ARM chip you have I think is 32-bit. Also surface mount components scare me :'( my hands are shakey af. Gotta check out the development boards though, that's super cool!

Completely assured on ARM mcu now! Lovely series

I liked that in my search for ARM MCUs your videos appeared and I was preparing for when I received my development board that I had bought and now I decided to get your book in epub format. Congratulations on your work and thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. :-)

Dear Patrick, do you plan to publish Volume 2 of your book? This book is amazing source for learning stm32 from scratch! I'm waiting for second part 🙏

Please provide links to bare microcontrollers to buy online

Very nice and clear explanantion, I am a military officer with the captain rank but i like learn more and deep about mcus, especially arm mcus, thank you.

How to find your book from shop?

God level explanation. Subscribed within first few seconds.

Despite that, I am a civil engineer but I found it so easy and exciting to follow in these episodes. I did a number of projects using Arduino to use some water-related applications sensors. Thanks for your efforts, highly appreciated.

can i use your book to learn to program nucleo boards

Can someone tell me how to use platformIO with a arm based development board?

Excellent. I'm looking forward to this series. Subscribed.
Question: I have been using VS Code with Arduino. I have also started using the PlatformIO with VS Code. Is your book and series independent of the development platform or is this series very tightly tied to Eclipse?

Just bought the book, I'm excited to start this course, this is exactly what I've been searching for!

You are a gem! You just answered my question
First time seeing you and subscribed already!

I have a product in mind that others have already built
but I have far more greater marketing strategy and I just know
how to sell it. Also there are few common factors that others out there missed.

And I was just about to start doing it using Arduino, but turns out
Arduino will be just useful as prototype phase (in my case) So i clearly need your channel!

Glad I found you! All the way up from Ethiopia, Africa.

How many lectures comes in this series

which arm microcontroller?

hope there chinese version, we are easy learn. thanks!

Subscribed! Youve got me excited! ARM is the future!

Works good, tnx

Somebody HAD to say NO to arduino

You are my hero. I learned a lot from you

Hello Patrick, your videos are grate and more useful for ppl who want's true knowledge of micro-controller programming from L0 level. grate job 👍. i have one query, Can we use one programming device to program any CORTEX MCU's from different manufacturer's;As programming protocol are the same.
for a instance , Pickit 4 supports CORTEX SWD protocol , So can i use same for STM32 programming ? & vice versa ?

Can't wait to get started! I found a box of 20 of the M501 V04s at an electronics recycler and have no idea what to do with them!
