Controlling STM32 via PC

Hey. I have program using graphical library SFML on my PC, which is suppose to send commands like 'turn on PWM on pin X', 'set pin X state high' etc to microcontroller. Until now, I was using Raspberry Pi 3 with pigpio library. I connected PC and Rpi via SSH and just send commands for Rpi terminal and pigpio library managed it. Is there a possiblity to achieve that with STM32 instead of Raspberry Pi? What should I learn to do that?

using graphical library SFML on my PC

Never heard of it - how about providing a link?

What should I learn to do that?

You will have to learn the exact format of the 'commands' sent by SFML.

Then you will have to learn to write code to receive & understand those commands.

Then you will have to learn to write code to

 act upon the received commands.

I was using Raspberry Pi 3 with pigpio library

So you could start by studying that library - and any available documentation

Oh, maybe I've express myself badly. The 'commands' are not from SFML (

 link) - but this library is made specially for Raspberry. With 'pigpiod' daemon (Raspian is Debian distribution for Raspberry) you can just type 'sudo pigs w 21 1' in Raspberry terminal for example, and it will write HIGH state on pin no. 21. That's the reason why I could connect via SSH and send this commands. But STM32 has no 'console/terminal' and no pigpio library
