STM32

The STM32 microcontroller series is a family of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers designed by STMicroelectronics. These microcontrollers are widely used in various embedded applications, from simple projects to complex systems. STM32 devices are known for their performance, low power consumption, and a wide range of peripherals. They are commonly programmed using the STM32CubeIDE integrated development environment (IDE).

Connection

We will use the STM32 MCU to send the data to the computer. Some of the Nucleo and Discovery dev boards from ST supports the virtual com port. This feature enables the USB connected for the ST link to be also used for the data transmission between the MCU and the computer.

The Virtual Com Port is supported by many Nucleo and Discovery boards but not all. You need to check the schematic of the board to confirm whether the respective board supports it.

Below are the images from the schematic of the Nucleo F446RE and Discovery F412.

As you can see in the images above, both Nucleo F446RE and Discovery F412 supports the USB Virtual Com Port. So if you are using either of these boards, you do not need to use an additional module to communicate to the computer. The USB used for the ST link can also be used for the communication.

Not all the boards support this Virtual Com port feature. Below is the image from the schematic of the very famous STM32F4 Discovery board.

As you can see in the image above, there is no virtual com port in the F4 Discovery board. In such cases we can use some module to convert the UART signals to the USB, which is connected to the computer.

Below is the image showing the connection between the MCU and the FT232 USB to UART converter.

IOT DEVICES

Optimize your industrial processes with our industrial IoT devices. These include sensors and monitoring systems that enhance safety, improve efficiency, and provide real-time insights into manufacturing plants, logistics operations, and energy infrastructure.

 

How Do IoT Devices Work?

IoT devices operate through a network of interconnected tangible objects with sensors, software, and connectivity features. These devices collect and exchange data with other devices or centralized systems, enabling remote monitoring, control, and data analysis. The key components of an IoT device include:

Sensors and Actuators

IoT devices are equipped with sensors to gather environmental data, such as temperature, humidity, motion, and light. Actuators, on the other hand, enable devices to perform physical actions based on received instructions.

Connectivity

Connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, and low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), make it possible for IoT devices to exchange data with one another and send it to servers in the cloud.

 

Data Processing and Storage

Embedded CPUs in IoT devices allow local data processing and analysis. They can also store data temporarily before transmitting it to the cloud or other systems for further analysis.

 

Cloud Platforms and Analytics

IoT devices store and process massive amounts of data on cloud systems. Therefore, organizations can acquire valuable insights, undertake predictive analysis, and better understand their operations with cloud-based analytics.
