STM32F0 discovery - newbie

What happens when the board is connected to the PC?

Hi Freya,

Hi,

The Virtual COM port is supported by the NUCLEO boards, not the DISCO ones.

Thank you to all,

Do you come to this with any other electronics or microprocessor experience?

Yes, I come from Atmel SAM MCU's where I had a programming IDE, a tool to interface (send program and I/O communication) using UART port and JTAG for debugging.

I think you're going to have to find yourself some USART pins, and wire up a SiLabs or FTDI USB-to-CMOS Serial type dongle.
