This article mainly aims at making a simple design of beauty instrument, teaching everyone how to use the STONE LCD screen to develop a beauty instrument with touch screen, as shown in Figure 1 below:

Because I have a lot of contacts with ST, MCU like this type can generally plug in the screen through IIC or SPI or serial port, such as 0.96-inch display screen, 1602 LCD screen, and various TFT LCD screens, and I decided to use the STONE LCD screen to do this project. Speaking of STM32 board.

Step 1: Project Requirements

Here we want to do a project about the use of medical devices and instruments. This project is mainly through our STVC101WT-01 serial port screen, through the touch mode. After pressing the key, the serial port screen sends the serial port command to STM32l053r8 through the serial port command. When our STM MCU receives the specific command, it starts to analyze the command, This resolution protocol is specific, which will be discussed later. After that, MCU will analyze and recognize specific fan instructions and led instructions, so as to realize the control of fan and led.

There are four functions：

① .Serial port screen realizes touch key function;
② .Send touch command;

③ .MCU analyzing instruction;

④ .Control the FAN and LED.

After the function is determined, we need to select the model of each module:

① . Type of touch screen;

② .What kind of MCU module do we use;

③ .What kind of peripheral module to use.

I plan to use STVC101WT-01 serial port screen for touch screen, after all, it is very convenient to use, and the market also has a certain proportion, the most important thing is that it is easy to use; the problem of the screen is solved, and then an MCU should be selected. Why do I use STM32l053r8 for MCU? Because the global market share of St MCU is more than 11% in 2015;
We use a 5V 4W DC power supply for the fan, so that it can be controlled directly through IO port; ordinary LED is used.

Step 2: Introduction and Principle of Each Hardware

Fan

Generally speaking, fans have fan blades, which are electric driven devices to generate current. The fans configured in the fans are powered and then turned into the natural wind to achieve the cool effects.

Structure
Rotor: it is composed of the magnet, fan blade, and shaft; stator: it is composed of silicon steel sheet, coil, and bearing; control circuit: it is composed of IC induction magnet N.S. pole to control its coil conduction through the circuit and generate internal excitation to make rotor rotate. Type: an axial fan, DC fan. Size: 40mm * 40mm * 15mm.

Working principle
The main components of the electric fan are DC motor. Its working principle is: the electrified coil rotates under the force in the magnetic field. The transformation form of energy is: electrical energy is mainly converted into mechanical energy, and because the coil has resistance, it is inevitable that part of electrical energy will be converted into thermal energy.

LED
LED. It is made of compounds containing gallium (GA), arsenic (As), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), it can radiate visible light when electrons are combined with holes, so it can be used to make light-emitting diodes. In circuits and instruments as indicator lights, or composition of text or digital display.

Characteristics of LED
It uses the solid semiconductor chip as the light-emitting material. Compared with traditional lamps, LED lamps to have the advantages of energy-saving, environmental protection, color rendering, and response speed. It has the following characteristics:

①、Energy saving is the most prominent feature of LED lamps. In terms of energy consumption, the energy consumption of LED lamps is one-tenth of that of incandescent lamps and one-quarter of that of energy-saving lamps. This is one of the biggest characteristics of LED lights. Now people are advocating energy-saving and environmental protection, and it is precisely because of this feature of energy-saving that the application of LED lamps is very wide, It makes the LED lamps very popular.

②、It can work in the high-speed switch state. When we walk on the road, we will find that every LED screen or picture is unpredictable. This shows that the LED lamp can work at high speed. However, for the incandescent lamps we usually use, we can not achieve such a working state. In normal life, if you switch too many times, it will directly lead to filament breakage. This is also an important reason for the popularity of LED lights.

Principle of LED
The LED has a single guide for electricity. When a positive voltage is applied to the LED, the holes injected from the P-region to the N-region and the electrons injected from the N-region to the P-region are combined with the electrons in the N-region and the holes in the P-region within a few microns near the PN junction, respectively, to produce spontaneous emission fluorescence. The energy states of electrons and holes are different in different semiconductor materials. When electrons and holes compound, the amount of energy released is different. The more energy released, the shorter the wavelength of light.

Step 4: STM32CubeMx

STM32CubeMX is a graphical tool that allows a very easy configuration of STM32 microcontrollers and microprocessors, as well as the generation of the corresponding initialization C code for the Arm® Cortex®-M core or a partial Linux® Device Tree for Arm® Cortex®-A core), through a step-by-step process. The first step consists of selecting the STMicroelectronics STM32 microcontroller or microprocessor that matches the required set of peripherals. For microprocessors, the second step allows us to configure the GPIOs and the clock setup for the whole system and to interactively assign peripherals either to the Arm® Cortex®-M or to the Cortex®-A world. Specific utilities, such as DDR configuration and tuning, make it easy to get started with STM32 microprocessors. For Cortex®-M core, the configuration includes additional steps that are exactly similar to those described for microcontrollers. For microcontrollers and microprocessor Arm® Cortex®-M, the second step consists in configuring each required embedded software thanks to a pinout-conflict solver, a clock-tree setting helper, a power-consumption calculator, and a utility that configures the peripherals (such as GPIO or USART) and the middleware stacks (such as USB or TCP/IP). Eventually, the user launches the generation that matches the selected configuration choices. This step provides the initialization C code for the Arm® Cortex®-M, ready to be used within several development environments, or a partial Linux® device tree for the Arm® Cortex®-A.
