Hi, i'm making some board with a STM32F042F6P6. Today i solder the board, i connected it with the USB cable but windows doesn't see it. Where am I wrong? Do i need to buy a ST-Link V2 Programmer? 

how do I connect it to the pins for the st link?

Thanks.. and sorry for bad english (google translate) and sorry again for the ignorance, it is the first time I use these STM.

This is the board

Without code the USB will do nothing. Not sure if specific part supports USB and DfuSe in system loader. Would need to pull BOOT0 high to get into loader at startup. Loader should always support USART connectivity mode, where you'd use FLASH Loader Demonstrator. 

For most any development you'd want a debugger pod like a ST-LINK, J-Link, etc

First time with STM32

Do you have any experience with other microcontroller(s)? With programming in general?
