Introduction: Light Up Your World: Blinking LED(External) With STM32F401CE

By

Get started with embedded systems by blinking an LED with the STM32F401CE! This powerful microcontroller is a great gateway to the world of electronics projects. We'll use STM32CubeMX's Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to control an external LED and make it blink.

Supplies

  1. STM32F401CE
  2. LED 3V
  3. Jumper wires M-F
  4. C-type Cable

Step 1: Create New File in STM32cubeID

Navigate to Your Project:

  • Open the project where you want to create the new file.
  • You can either create a new project or use an existing one.

Create a New File:

  • Right-click on the folder or directory where you want to add the new file.
  • Select New > File from the context menu.


Step 2: Now Configure Your STMcubeIDE

Step 3: Selection of Modes for Pins

Step 4: Pinout & Clock Configuration

Step 5: Add Code

HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOC,GPIO_PIN_14,1);

  HAL_Delay(1000);

  HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOC,GPIO_PIN_14,0);

  HAL_Delay(1000);

write this code in while loop.

Step 6: Build Binary File

Step 7: Connect STM32 Using USB

Step 8: Click on Download Option

Step 9: Select Start Automatic Mode
