Suggestions for better blue pill performance

[hamo]

Hello,

i am working for now on a diy project.

In this project i am interfacing LoRa SX1278 (SPI), MPU6050 (I2C) and NEO-6M (UART) with the STM32F103C8 (blue pill).

All in all it is working but because all this sensors and modules are served in the loop, it is affecting the speed of the µC.

I am thinking of using Free RTOS for that purpose.

The goal is that every 10 - 15 seconds the STM32 reads  NEO-6M and packs the results in a Buffer to send it with LoRa to the receiver.

Would free RTOS be a good idea?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

As mentioned by @Andrew Neil this thread relates to a so-called Blue Pill, which uses illegally cloned STM32F103. ST resources are only dedicated to supporting genuine ST products. We are not committed to ensuring that clones/fakes products work properly with the firmware we provide.

We recommend to purchase genuine products from STMicroelectronics and purchase them from known and trusted distributors.
