Where do I begin? I am a EE but total beginner with STM32 IDE.

[BBors.1]

Using CUBEIDE_1.11.0, TouchGFX_4.21.0,and STM32F429I-DISC0.

Starting a GUI is easy using TouchGFX using an easy button and interaction program.

 I am having trouble understanding programming pins on the STM32MCU to correlate with the buttons on the GUI.  All video instructions use MX with TouchGFX inside the CUBE IDE. Every time I generate code in TouchGFX and import to Cube IDE, the MX file does not transfer or is not created. What am I doing wrong?

In this case the best is to find a software-savvy partner or contractor. Have them make at least a prototype and development setup from which you can continue alone.

Thank you Pavel. Are you volunteering to mentor me? :)

[Pavel A.]

No :) Maybe somebody here can.

[BBors.1]

Thank you for that. I may have to use it. I hope in my journey I find a friend that would like to embark on ideas with me.

Takes time to get to know how to do the raindance corectly.

In the meantime, just posting your issues here and waiting for other users or ST employes to answer normally did work for me.

You might as well share screenshots, cubeIDE version numbers, CUbeMx files,pictures with pointing fingers...etc

Or as @Pavel A.​ said,if the deadline is short, you could hire a contractor.

Raindance? That seems to be an accurate description. So, you agree when I say getting the 3 programs (CubeIDE_1.11.0, CubeMx, and TouchGFX_4.21.0) to play together nicely is not intuitive or did I miss a User Manual somewhere?

you mixing three really complex IDE/GUI up and then expect, this is on a level for 3 year old kiddies to manage ? raindance ? for 3 years old - shure.

Hi BB EE, primary differ projects. In TouchGFX created is for playing learning on disco boards. Have prepared BSP and HAL. But real designs is started from MX or IDE.

Some demo in TouchGFX have ioc files (your MX ask), but dont show it in IDE ... add manualy.

Maybe this video will help show you how to use a button on the screen to control a hardware LED. Sorry, I know it's a long video.

Thank you for the reply. I watched several of your videos to no avail. The latest versions I downloaded are not related to yours. Still getting errors. Let me know if you do private sessions via zoom or some other free video/screen sharing app.
