This article will explain how to program the Black Pill STM32F4 microcontroller board. It can be considered the big brother of the STM32F1 series, more powerful, and with all the features of the F1 version.
I must fill a tank 1.5 km away, so I create a 2-part controller.
A server with a relay to manage the pump and a client solar/battery-powered to check the tank’s status and notify to the server.
Now we put all the Server components in the relative Case.
We’ll learn how to add HID bootloader to our STM32 device. This bootloader is driverless (no USB drivers needed, even on Windows) for STM32F10x and STM32F4xx devices.
I must fill a tank 1.5 km away, so I create a 2-part controller.
A server with a relay to manage the pump and a client solar / battery-powered to check the tank’s status and notify It to the server.
Here we are going to assemble the Client PCB.
STM32duino-bootloader is created for STM32F103 boards to use with the Arduino_Core_STM32 repo and the Arduino IDE; very useful to program the microcontroller directly via USB.

Navigating the STM32 world is more complicated than other microcontrollers, one of the reasons is that it is an extremely large world and there are many options for both software and hardware.
In this tutorial we try to create a path to follow to reach a good knowledge of these devices.
Let’s start with the famous STM32 Blue Pill, let’s see how to program it and the basic features.
I must fill a tank 1.5 km away, so I create a 2-part controller.
A server with a relay to manage the pump and a client solar/battery-powered to check the tank’s status and notify the status to the server.
Here we are going to look at the Client software.
